Join us as we raise funds for Aston Old Edwardian and England Womens World Cup winning coach, Gary Street.Back in August 2023, Gary Street underwent a quadruple bypass surgery, but complications during the process led to four weeks in intensive care and paralysis down one side of his body.
The former England head coach was left unable to speak and has had to learn how to walk again, spending five months in four different hospitals.
Now discharged and living back at home with his wife Helen, and his two sons, his rugby community have launched an appeal for help to support his recovery.
Helen said: “While he has surpassed doctors’ expectations, the chance of full recovery remains unknown. Daily intensive physiotherapy, along with speech and occupational therapy, is essential to continue his progress."
The Streets Ahead Festival on Saturday 15th June 2024 will celebrate Streety with a day filled with rugby, family activities, bar open food and family activities - but most importantly raising funds for Gary Street.
