With
the festive season around the corner, it’s time to start shopping around for
the perfect gifts to make your loved ones smile. This year, you can buy a piece
of rugby history, support a worthy cause and make the sports fanatic in your
life ecstatic, all by buying the exclusive J9 SA Rugby Legends Association
jersey. To keep things simple, the J9 jersey can be purchased online at http://www.sarugbylegends.com/product/official-j9-rugby-jersey/.
The
jersey was released in honour of the late and legendary scrumhalf Joost van der
Westhuizen, and is inscribed with a J9 as a symbol of the great respect and
admiration that SARLA and rugby fans alike have for Joost's on-field prowess,
as well as the dignity and courage he showed during his battle against Motor
Neuron Disease. The J9 represents the strength and determination that Joost van
der Westhuizen showed in the face of adversity and is something that any SA
sports fan can wear with pride and honour.
Proceeds
from the sale of the jersey all go to the J9 Foundation, an organisation which
van der Westhuizen founded after he was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease.The
J9 Foundation’s
incredible work includes educating the public about the disease, enabling
medical professionals to provide better care for MND patients, supporting
research into MND in South Africa in the hopes of finding a cure, and giving
those living with MND a better quality of life.
According to SARLA President, Gavin Varejes, "Joost van der Westhuizen’s skill as a scrumhalf is undisputed
but his true colours really showed when he was given this devastating diagnosis
– instead of bowing his head he fought
for himself and for other MND sufferers.” Varejes says that, “We are grateful to everyone who
purchases a jersey as they are helping to keep Joost’s legacy alive, as well as
contributing to a better future for others living with MND.
Anyone who purchases and wears the J9 jersey can do so with
pride, knowing that they are helping the Foundation to continue its incredible
work - as well as celebrating the memory of an iconic SA Rugby Legend.
