Rick Johnson (1 North 1991) is undertaking a gruelling six-week tour of Australia to try to raise £150,000 for Take Her Lead, a charity promoting equality & diversity, working to ensure every woman and girl can fulfil her potential & thrive in cricket.
Rick has been in training for months to prepare him for the challenge of attending every day of the five-Test Ashes series in Australia. He has generously pledged personal donations throughout the tour, based on the people he meets and those who contribute along the way. He will be joined along the way by many friends, sports players, and celebrities.
The tour will feature fundraising events across Australia, bringing together players, fans, and supporters, with all proceeds going to the charity.
“Watching my daughters grow through cricket has shown me how vital it is that girls are not just welcomed into the game, but supported to stay in it,” he said. “That’s how we change cricket for good.”
