Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Matt Hampson was injured in a freak scrumming accident when playing for the England U21 rugby side. He had a glittering career ahead of him, which was cruelly cut short. He has lived most of his adult life confined to a wheelchair breathing on a ventilator. But that hasn't stopped him living life to the full and raising money for injured children. He is an inspiration to everyone. His motto (printed on the front of my running vest) is "Get Busy Living", and we can all do that. So, I'm running 26.2 miles of pain and raising money for Matt's charity and hope that you can spare something to support this worthy charity.
