Kurdi said: “I’m certainly no athlete so this is quite an undertaking, but it’s for a great cause.

“Hopefully we can generate some funds and awareness to support the outstanding work that the Newcastle Rugby Foundation does, and if you are able to sponsor us it will make the pain feel more bearable on the day!”
