Jacob and Lucas Complete Epic 24-Hour Cycle Challenge!

Monday 03 November 2025 Written by: Rose Mclean

Two incredible young boys have just achieved something truly special — and we couldn’t be prouder! 💙

Jacob and Lucas, two rugby-mad best friends and regular attendees at our Rugby Camps, have completed their 24-hour cycle challenge in support of Newcastle Rugby Foundation and LooseHeadz.

What started as an idea they came up with themselves turned into a full-blown test of endurance, teamwork, and heart. They trained hard, stayed determined, and pushed through every hour with smiles on their faces — all to raise money for two causes close to their hearts.

Both boys play for their local rugby clubs, attend every one of our Newcastle Rugby Foundation camps, and are proud participants in our CAST programme in collaboration with Newcastle College. Their passion for the game and desire to help others is a shining example of what our rugby community stands for.

To give up their time — and their bodies! — to help others shows maturity and generosity far beyond their years. They’ve embodied everything we believe in: friendship, resilience, and making rugby the positive difference that changes lives for good.

From everyone at Newcastle Rugby Foundation and the Newcastle Red Bulls, a huge congratulations to Jacob and Lucas. You’ve inspired us all.

They’re now closing in on their fundraising goal of £5,000, so if you haven’t donated yet, there’s still time to show your support and celebrate this incredible achievement.
