By now most will know about the devastating neck injury that hugely talented England under 21, and Leicester Tigers prop Matt Hampson suffered back in 2005. Since then, his story is one of spirit, inspiration and bravery in the face of adversity. The Matt Hampson Trust Fundraising Committee are organising a charity walk from the town of Rugby ending at Twickenham for the Guinness Premiership Final

Matt Hampson is now known all over the country as the inspirational figure who has given hope to so many people going through a tough period in their lives. The guy who got injured, but wouldn’t take it lying down.

The Matt Hampson Trust Fundraising Committee are organising a charity
walk on behalf of the Matt Hampson Trust, SpecialEffect (www.specialeffect.org.uk) and other designated charities chosen by each
participating club. The walk has the backing of British Waterways, PRL (Professional Rugby Limited), PRA (The Professional Rugby Players Association) and all 12 Guinness Premiership Rugby Union Clubs, Leicester, Northampton, Bath, Worcester, Gloucester, Bristol, Newcastle, Sale, Harlequins, Wasps, Saracens and London Irish.
