16 years ago, on SEPTEMBER 3, 1991, our friend, TOM “REEGS” REGAN, was paralyzed while practicing rugby at SUNY Oneonta.
This devastating injury left Tom completely paralyzed and entirely dependent upon others for his every need.
Some of you know Tom through his late father, Dennis Regan, who was a New York City Police Officer before his retirement in 1983 or through his brother-in-law, John McMorrow, who is a New York City Firefigher. Many know Tom from his school days at Sachem High School or SUNY Oneonta - but regardless of how you know Tom, it is imperative that we spread the word to others who do not ...
Tom is a great guy and an inspiration to all. He could really use a helping hand, so please pass this message around your office, school or at your next family gathering.
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
CONTRIBUTIONS ARE NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE, BUT 100% OF ALL DONATIONS GO DIRECTLY TO HELPING TOM PAY FOR THE MEDICAL SUPPLIES THAT HE NEEDS ON A DAILY BASIS.

Letter from Reegs,
DEAR ROCKAWAY RUGBY CLUB,
THE FISHEADS HAVE BEEN A SIGNIFICANT PART OF MY LIFE SINCE I FIRST STEPPED ON THE PITCH AS AN ONEONTA FRESHMAN, PLAYING MY FIRST SEVENS TOURNAMENT IN 1988. I PLAYED MY COLLEGE YEARS OF RUGBY (THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE) WITH CURRENT FISHEADS OAKIE, ROBBIE O, JOHN MCMORROW, KEVIN WRAFTER,, KEITH SERPER, PETE BAKER AND OTHER GREAT GUYS WHO ARE NOT COMING TO MIND.
JOHN MCMORROW AND KEVIN WRAFTER WERE ON THE PRACTICE FIELD WITH ME THE DAY I WAS PARALYZED: SEPT 3, 1991. SINCE THEN, CURRENT FISHEADS BOB JOHNSON, GEORGE JOHNSON, JERRY HUNT, JOHN MCCANN, KERMIT, OAKIE, ROBBIE O, JOHN MCMORROW, KEVIN WRAFTER, KEITH SERPER, PETE BAKER AND DOZENS OF MORE GREAT GUYS, WHO ARE ALSO NOT COMING TO MIND HAVE FOR THE LAST 13 YEARS ARRANGED, PARTICIPATED AND DONATED THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO HELP KEEP ME ALIVE, HEALTHY AND MOVING FORWARD.
THERE ARE NO WORDS ADEQUATE TO EXPRESS THE SINCERE ADMIRATION I HAVE FOR THESE GREAT MEN... WITHOUT THEM I WOULD NOT BE HERE TO WRITE THESE HUMBLE WORDS OF GRATITUDE... TO THE ROCKAWAY RUGBY ORGANIZATION, AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS GIVEN MY FAMILY AND I SO MUCH AND ASKED NOTHING IN RETURN.
BEST WISHES FOR THE CONTINUED GROWTH AND SUCCESS OF THE ROCKAWAY RUGBY ORGANIZATION.
MOST GRATEFULLY YOURS,
TOM "REEGS" REGAN
