UK rugby star Ben Cohen has announced he'll head
a new foundation
 to support gay charities and groups.
Even as his future with the Sale Sharks remains
 uncertain, Cohen, 
also known as Big Ben and Benji, announced on
 his website that 
he's prepared to take on a more visible role in
 advocating for
 LGBT rights.
“As you may have read in the press my future
 at Sale is now
 uncertain.”
“I am still fit, healthy, and at 32 still ready to
 play rugby. I am
 currently looking at offers from Premiership
Clubs and will
 continue to see what is out there.”
The six-foot-two married father of two went
on to announce 
his new ventures.
“This summer I am heading The Ben Cohen
Acceptance Tour 

to the USA. We are working with gay/gay-friendly
 rugby clubs
 holding events and dinners and spreading a
 message of 
acceptance and mutual respect for everyone
and also raising
 money for my soon to be formed foundation,
which will be 
supporting existing charities and organizations
 working 
within the LGBT community.”
