AFTER raising more than $8000 for cystic fibrosis research last year, a young rugby fanatic is gearing up to do it all again.
Nine-year-old Spencer Quinnell and his younger brothers Teddy and Stanley have each been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Last year Spencer and his parents organised a charity rugby game in Seaford, which raised around $8500. The money raised was donated to Cystic Fibrosis Community Care and MonashCF.
On Sunday, 25 May, Peninsula Reserve in Frankston will host Spencer’s second rugby league charity match. The under 10s kick off at 11am and the masters kick off 12:30pm. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder which impacts the lungs and digestive system.
