Penryn Ladies Rugby team are helping to spread the word about the Joe Way appeal by wearing the toddlers logo on their team shirts.

It was decided by the team captain that raising awareness for such a good local charity was important to the team ethos. This has been supported by all club members who have gone above and beyond in their support for the team and our chosen charity for this season. Penryn Ladies are holding a charity quiz night for the appeal on 9th March at Penryn Rugby club (7pm).   
Nicola Twining team captain said "we are proud to support Joe's appeal and the team are doing incredibly well.  We are second in our league and a major representative of the Cornwall County Ladies team. We regularly travel out of county to play fixtures and will continue to raise awareness of the appeal and the great work of Matt and the team."
Team Joe and its supporters have raised over £111,450.00 of which £71,000.00 has gone towards building Cornwall's first children's hospice which opened in March 2012.
The sixth Joe Way Paddle for life is riding a wave towards the Newquay event on Thursday 6th June at Newquay harbour
The original Paddle for Life started after lifeguards from Fistral Beach held a Joe Way memorial paddle to raise money for charity in 2008.  Joe is the inspirational little Newquay boy who touched people's lives around the country and beyond.  
Matt Way Joe's dad said "This has been a real honor to see Joe's logo on the team shirts and it puts us into another arena where we hope his story will inspire new people, we now have Newquay AFC, Newquay Hornets and Penryn Ladies Rugby club all sporting Joe's logo".
