Exeter Chiefs heading to the top of Mont Blanc

Greg Bateman, Phil Dollman and Kai Hortsmann plan to climb the daunting 4,808m peak as a part of an initiative to boost funds and psychological well being consciousness for the rugby charity LooseHeadz.

The ambition is to boost £50,000 for the charity and Bateman informed the Chiefs web site: “Psychological well being is a notoriously difficult topic to speak about. I communicate from expertise, regardless of discovering myself in darkish head areas earlier than.

“I really feel so passionately that it’s within the security of social moments we’re going to encourage those that don’t really feel capable of communicate up. As a result of overcoming this hurdle and opening up is the only smartest thing any person can do to get the ball rolling in receiving the assist they want.”
