WASPS legend Lawrence Dallaglio has called on fans of the black and golds to join a special Dallaglio Foundation team in the Tri for Life triathlon this autumn, raising money for Cancer Research UK.

Now on the board of directors at London Wasps, after retiring from rugby in 2008, Lawrence will be joined by a selection of celebrity friends and 200 Foundation supporters for the event at Dorney Lake near Eton on Sunday 5th September, and he hopes to be backed by a strong Wasps contingent.

“It’s a massive task but I know Wasps fans love a challenge and I’d be delighted if they might be able to join me,” he said. “They’ve been hugely supportive of the Dallaglio Foundation over the last year and this is a great chance for them to get involved and raise money for a cause which is very close to my heart.”

Everyone who signs up through the Dallaglio Foundation will be given a special PIN code to register online, which will enable you to join the team and compete alongside Lawrence.

Adults can choose from two events in the triathlon and there are also opportunities for children to take part, making it a fun day out for all the family.
