The three former Exeter Chiefs will be scaling the mountain in the Alps to raise money for LooseHeadz, rugby’s leading mental health charity.
Former Exeter Chiefs rugby players Greg Bateman, Phil Dollman and Kai Horstmann are raising money for mental health charity LooseHeadz by climbing Mont Blanc
They have raised more than £10,000 for the foundation so far, with the aim of ensuring “players, coaches and staff of the present and of the future have more resources than what we had”. Reflecting on their time in the sport, Mr Horstmann, from Exeter, said he “adored” playing professional rugby but there were “some massive low points in there”.
The money raised for LooseHeadz by their new venture will fund the practical resources to provide rugby players, coaches and staff with emotional support. Of their forthcoming challenge, Mr Bateman said the trio have had “a little bit of that rugby feeling back” during their training for climbing Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps.
