The Leeds-based insurance brokers, financial advisers and wealth management experts have provided a bespoke insurance package.   Ian Roberts, Major Account Director for Bartlett, said: *“Bartlett are really pleased to maintain our longstanding support for RL Cares through the President’s Ball and our continued association with the charity’s famous annual bike ride.* *“We would like to wish all the riders who are taking on the challenge of the Ciclo Italiano the very best of luck and urge Rugby League fans everywhere to sponsor a rider and help RL Cares make a difference.* *“But before that, we’re very much looking forward to supporting RFL President Adam Hills MBE as the President’s Ball returns to Leeds.”*   Every penny raised from the Ciclo Italiano will go to the Benevolent Fund, which also oversees the Brain Health Fund. Through this fund, RL Cares delivers brain health education programmes to current players, provides dementia support to retired professional players and their families, and supports research projects focused on improving brain health within the sport.   The riders on the Ciclo Italiano include Rugby League Hall of Fame inductees Adrian Morley and Paul Sculthorpe MBE, who will fly to Italy on June 6.   To sponsor Adrian Morley, Paul Sculthorpe MBE or any of the fantastic riders taking part in the Ciclo Italiano please click here [Ciclo Italiano 2026 Cycling Challenge - JustGiving](https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.justgiving.com%2Fcampaign%2Fciclio-italiano26&data=05%7C02%7Candy.wilson%40rlcares.org.uk%7C43261a546c914add52c608de7ba728b1%7C1449043b422147368594dab1f0b4ab5d%7C1%7C0%7C639084155096150991%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=bHq%2By5%2FSHy0TPU1PA17BKsaqT7zjmPX9vCE9Ta3J5OI%3D&reserved=0)   -ends [Brain health fund](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/news/tag/brain-health-fund), [RL Benevolent Fund](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/news/tag/rl-benevolent-fund), [Partnerships](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/news/tag/partnerships), [blog](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/news/tag/blog), [rugby league benevolent fund](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/news/tag/rugby-league-benevolent-fund), [President's Ball](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/news/tag/presidents-ball), [ciclo italiano](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/news/tag/ciclo-italiano) ## **Our Partners** ![EHU New MHSPA Black Logo](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/EHU%20New%20MHSPA%20Black%20Logo.png) ![JUL 2019 Mattioli Woods Stacked Logo NO PLC RGB (1)-1-1](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/JUL%202019%20Mattioli%20Woods%20Stacked%20Logo%20NO%20PLC%20RGB%20(1)-1-1.png) ![Howorth Air Tech Logo](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/Howorth%20Air%20Tech%20Logo.png) ![bartlet](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/bartlet.png) ![logo](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/logo.png) ![UCEN\_Logo\_CMYK](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/UCEN_Logo_CMYK.png) ![boilercentrallogo-hires](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/boilercentrallogo-hires.png) ![all sport](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/Untitled-1.webp) ![oxen-2024-black-copy](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/oxen-2024-black-copy.png) ![Movember\_Primary Logo\_White copy](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/Movember_Primary%20Logo_White%20copy.png) ![images](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/images.png) ![Caffe Nero B&W1](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/Caffe%20Nero%20B%26W1.png) ![exp-atol-logos-stacked](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hubfs/Globals/Partners%20Logos/exp-atol-logos-stacked.png) [![RL Cares White Text\_White Outline](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Globals/Logos%20NEW/RL%20Cares%20White%20Text_White%20Outline.png?width=175&height=69&name=RL%20Cares%20White%20Text_White%20Outline.png "RL Cares White Text_White Outline")](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/) [![RL Cares White Text\_White Outline](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Globals/Logos%20NEW/RL%20Cares%20White%20Text_White%20Outline.png?width=175&height=69&name=RL%20Cares%20White%20Text_White%20Outline.png "RL Cares White Text_White Outline")](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/) Rugby League Cares is an independent charity that touches upon the lives of people involved at every level of rugby league.    [info@rlcares.org.uk](mailto:info@rlcares.org)   Rugby League Cares is a registered charity in England and Wales (1150763) ![fundraising-regulator12](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Globals/fundraising-regulator12.png?width=175&height=54&name=fundraising-regulator12.png) ![fundraising-regulator12](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Globals/fundraising-regulator12.png?width=175&height=54&name=fundraising-regulator12.png "fundraising-regulator12") **MAIN MENU** - [Home](https://rugbyleaguecares.org) - [Latest News](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/news/tag/blog) - [About us](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/about-us) - [Community](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/community) - [Get Involved](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/get-involved) - [Players](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/players) - [Seriously Injured Players Fund](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/benevolent-fund) - [Contact](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/contact) **ADDITONAL LINKS** - [Donate](https://www.justgiving.com/page/rlcares-brain-health-fund) - Merchandise - [GET HELP NOW](https://rugbyleaguecares.org/get-help-now) **KEEP IN TOUCH** Want to keep up to date on all things RL Cares?
