Connacht Rugby unveils limited edition 'heroes' jersey 

Connacht Rugby, along with its partners Elverys and BLK, have collaborated to create a special limited-edition ‘heroes’ jersey in aid of ALONE and the Galway and Mayo/Roscommon Hospices.
 
During these unprecedented times, ALONE and the Hospices are unrelenting in their support of the most vulnerable in society. To support their trojan efforts and by way of support to all front-line workers, 100 per cent of profits from this limited-edition jersey will go directly to ALONE and the two Connacht-based Hospices.
 
"The jersey sports a unique design inspired by superheroes, reminding us that they are not the only ones who wear capes and is our way of saying thanks to all superheroes fighting day in, day out to makes the lives of the most vulnerable better," said a Connacht Rugby statement. 
 
The tagline ‘home advantage’ is a reminder that for now, this game is won by staying at home, but is also a nod to what will be brighter and healthier days ahead, when fans can venture out to support Connacht Rugby at home in The Sportsground once again, wearing this ‘heroes’ shirt with pride. 
 
Connacht Rugby thanks all sponsors who donated their normal logo space to help make this jersey possible.
 
ALONE’s support line is available at 0818 222 024 from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week, supporting the clinical advice and information being provided by the HSE.
 
The ALONE helpline offers advice and support for COVID-19 and other issues that are coming up for older people at this time, including difficulties in relation to physical and mental health, loneliness, isolation, finance, safety, and housing. For more information see www.alone.ie
