In case you missed it…
With almost a fortnight passing since the Varsity Match at Twickenham, it seems timely to celebrate the achievements of Hawk, Mike Biggar (Queens’, CURUFC, 1968-72), a Rugby Blue and former Scotland captain. In 2020, Mike set himself the challenge of walking 100 steps in 30 days, aiming to raise £1000 for NHS charities. Mike was involved in a near-fatal car accident in 1992 and was left with severe head injuries. After spending a year in hospital, Mike learnt to walk and talk again with the help of doctors, nurses and therapists. In his challenge, he exceeded both targets and raised £77,5678. Mike was subsequently awarded an MBE for services to charity and the NHS in the delayed Queen’s Birthday Honours list in early 2021. Congratulations Mike!
