Pumas in the Community......
The Pumas have always been about being at the heart of the community. We have expanded our range of rugby teams to suit the young and not so young who wish to take up the sport of rugby.
The Alex Wardle Foundation Fund was set up in memory of Alex Wardle, who passed away in March 2016, aged 23, from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS).
Every week in the UK, at least 12 young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions SADS is caused by a disturbance in the heart’s rhythm, of which there are many causes, despite the person not having any physical heart disease.
Alex played for the Pumas from a young age. He was a medical student, working in research, and his family wanted to continue his legacy by helping to further understand SADS.
The Foundation raises funds to supply life-saving community defibrillators and run heart screening events.
