The game, hosted and organised by Stowmarket Rugby Club, raised an amazing £1,760 – enough to purchase a puppy that will go on to do amazing things and eventually transform someone’s life.

John turned 18 on 4 May 2015 but sadly did not survive a major car accident and died on 27 May 2015.

A dog lover himself he had just set up his own small business for dog boarding, walking and sitting. John had been doing some voluntary work with dog obedience classes for almost a year and was very much looking forward to working with them. John played rugby for Stowmarket and the game in his memory was a well attended and fantastic event for all who knew and loved him.

Now his friends and family can enjoy updates about the puppy they have sponsored as he goes on to becomes a canine partner in John’s memory.

You too can sponsor a puppy to do something amazing and change someone’s life even if you aren’t organising an event like John’s memorial game. How about sponsoring a puppy for as little as £1 a week.
