Cricketing World To Turn #RedforRuth

Cricket will go #RedforRuth on Saturday July 25 to support families facing the death of a parent to cancer, through the work of the Ruth Strauss Foundation.

The Third Test of the #raisethebat Test Series will be named The Ruth Strauss Foundation Test with the second day seeing cricket turn red again for this year’s #RedForRuth Day.

The cricket family will be encouraged to wear red on the day to show their support for the charity while they watch the match from home. #RedforRuth merchandise will be available to purchase online via ruthstraussfoundation.com from today.

Funds raised will go towards the Ruth Strauss Foundation’s mission of providing pre-bereavement support for families facing the death of a parent from cancer, and drive much-needed research into non-smoking lung cancers.

The players will wear special Ruth Strauss Foundation branded Test shirts with Red Caps being presented before play. Branding around Emirates Old Trafford will also go red including the stumps and boundary boards.
