How many dudes you know roll like this? Not many... Shaun Kenny.
If you've been a reader of @LadiesWhoLeague this year, you'll know that while the Parramatta Eels are a huge passion of mine, I also identify as an NRL appreciator. It is also no big secret that I am a fan of the Sydney Roosters. One of the reasons I am a fan of the Roosters is because of Shaun Kenny-Dowall.
SKD has been a favourite of mine for many years. He is a talented footballer and I have enjoyed watching him play NRL over the last few years. Today after reading the paper I thought it was time to show him a bit of love.
This Saturday night at Maroubra Sports Club, SKD will not just take part, but will headline a world record attempt to bring together the largest ever boxing class, all in aid of suicide prevention.
Suicide prevention is something which is very real to many NRL fans, particularly following the deaths of two extraordinary rugby league talents, Alex Elisala and Mosese Fotuaika.
The goal for the fundraising attempt is 500 boxers, aiming to raise $20,000.
As always, it is wonderful to see talented NRL players realising the impact that they can have on the community. Far too often in NRL we focus on negative headlines and the players that bring our game into disrepute. All the while, there are other NRL players using their status to bring attention to and do positive work for the community and the very real issues our community faces.
Congratulations to SKD - we at @LadiesWhoLeague wish him all the very best of luck in bringing attention to a very worthy cause.
Box on.
Love,
@LadiesWhoLeague
