We're thrilled to announce Poland Spring as the Official Hydration Sponsor of Rosie’s Ruck! 💧
With athletes competing all day long in the summer heat, having plenty of water on hand isn't a luxury, it is absolutely essential.
We're incredibly grateful to Poland Spring for helping keep our players, referees, volunteers, supporters, and pups refreshed from kick off to final try.
Hydration matters for everyone on the field, and it's especially important for many people living with epilepsy. Staying hydrated can help support overall health and may help reduce seizure risk for some individuals.
So whether you're playing, refereeing, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, be sure to grab some water and take care of yourself.
See you at the Hydration Station! 💧🐾
Parker made the news!
WBZ recently sat down with Parker, the 12-year-old MYRO (Massachusetts Youth Rugby Organization) player behind Rosie’s Ruck, to talk about rugby, epilepsy awareness, and why she believes sports can change lives.
What started as a simple idea has grown into a community-wide effort to support children with epilepsy and help more families access seizure-alert dogs like Rosie.
The best part? Parker isn't a celebrity. She's not a politician. She's not a business owner.
She's a kid who saw what her sister goes through every day and decided to do something about it.
Now she's bringing rugby players, families, businesses, and supporters from across New England together for a cause that means the world to her.
Thank you to WBZ for helping share Parker's story and the mission behind Rosie’s Ruck.
💜 If you're part of the rugby community, we'd love to have you join us.
🏉 If you've ever wanted to make a difference, this is your chance.
🐾 If you've met Alana and Rosie, you already know why this matters.
