Newport Gwent Dragons and Wales hooker Lloyd Burns has been forced to retire from rugby due to a serious heart condition. This shocking news has dealt a massive blow to Lloyd and his wife Rachel who has just given birth to their first child. It has also rocked the rugby community who have witnessed his meteoric rise from bricklayer to a member of the Wales’ world cup squad.
Facing such a situation is terrible for anybody but is particularly devastating when the person is so young with such a bright future ahead of him. Lloyd and his family are now facing an uncertain future.
The Burns' Night event at the Celtic Manor is now SOLD OUT but if you would still like to help you can donate any amount to the fund through www.lloydburns.co.uk/
