COME AND CELEBRATE THE GLITTERING CAREER OF ONE OF THE GREATEST SCRUM HALVES TO EVER PLAY THE GAME OF RUGBY
15 November 2013
Former Springbok World Cup winning scrum half, Joost van Der Westhuizen will be in Edinburgh along with some other rugby celebrities to participate in a one-of-a-kind, fundraising sporting quiz and supper followed by a Harviestoun Brewery sponsored reception.
Joost was diagnosed in 2011 with Motor Neuron Disease and specialists told him that he would be wheelchair bound within a year and that he had less then a 20% chance of living 24 months.
If there is anything we know about Joost, it's that there's no shortage of fighting spirit - He has so bravely taken on this terrible disease with the same energy he possessed on the field and he is a true inspiration to so many people in South Africa and around the world.
Joost will be joined by law graduate, Euan MacDonald from the University of Edinburgh. Euan was diagnosed with MND 10 years ago and although he has not reached the sporting heights that Joost has, he is a huge fan of the game of rugby often attending Scottish international as well as Edinburgh rugby at Murrayfield Stadium. All funds raised on the evening will go 50/50 between Joost's J9 Foundation and The Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease Research. The centre, named after Euan, is leading the way worldwide in Motor Neurone Disease Research.
The price for a table at this event is £350
10 people at a table.
