An England and Harlequins U20s rugby player took part in a 24 hour kicking challenge to raise money for her father’s cancer treatment.
Ella Cromack, 20, aimed to complete 1611 conversions at the Twickenham Stoop Stadium on 30 May, with this number representing the date that her father received his diagnosis.
Simon Cromack was diagnosed with an incurable, glioblastoma brain tumour in November 2023 and has since been receiving treatments in Germany, due to them being unavailable on the NHS.
When people have challenged Ella’s stamina for the challenge, she said: “Physically it’s going to be tough but mentally, it’s going to be easy knowing that I’m doing it for my dad.”
