Jamie Jones-Buchanan: Gratitude

As part of RL Cares's 'Gratitude' campaign, former Leeds Rhinos and Great Britain second row Jamie Jones-Buchanan writes a very special letter to the person who continues to be his rock.

You shaped me and became the refining fire, who by God's grace moulded me into the man, husband and father I am today. You and the boys have been the unconditional love, a shield of invincibility that gives me the courage to take on any challenge. Thank you, Jamie.
