Riding across NSW on Harley Davidsons, the team shared their rugby league knowledge and passion with the keen students.
Matt Cooper, Brad Fittler, Josh Perry and Steve Roach arrived at Olympic Park on Monday to help children from Muswellbrook Public School, Muswellbrook South Public School, and Muswellbrook High School.
The purpose of the tour, which will visit Cessnock and Maitland later this week, is to raise money and awareness for Father Chris Riley’s Youth off the Streets – and to support local league clubs.
Since its inception in 2013, Hogs For The Homeless has raised almost $300,000 for Youth off the Streets.
Having been a passionate supporter of Youth off the Streets since his playing days, Fittler was thrilled to be a part of such an exciting and inspiring journey once again.
“It is amazing to see how animated the people get when we arrive in these small country towns,” the former NSW State of Origin captain said.
“It is so unbelievably humbling to meet these wonderful people who have so many great stories to share.
“I love seeing the smile on kids’ faces when we put a footy in their hands.
“Helping people in need is something I feel strongly about and I believe the more attention we can bring to the work of these organisations the better off thousands will be.”
