Having a ball for Danny Jones summer fundraiser

We recently enjoyed a great night of filming at the inaugural Danny Jones Defib Summer Ball at Headingley Stadium in Leeds, which helped raise vital funds towards life-saving equipment for sports clubs across the UK.

The Danny Jones Defibrillator Fund was set up by Lizzie Jones after her husband Danny collapsed and died from an undiagnosed heart defect while playing for Keighley Cougars in the summer of 2015.

Since then, the Fund has helped community rugby league clubs purchase defibrillators which can make the difference between life and death when someone has suffered a cardiac arrest.

The Summer Ball, hosted by former Great Britain rugby league player Barrie McDermott, was a sell-out event with more than £25,000 raised during the evening for the Danny Jones Defibrillator Fund.
