Matt Hampson's London Marathon: A Test of Will

Matt Hampson, a former England rugby player, is set to conquer the London Marathon in a racing chair, pushed by a team of runners. His mission: raise £100,000 for his foundation supporting young athletes with catastrophic injuries. Despite being paralyzed from the neck down after a training accident in 2005, Hampson established the foundation in 2011. This marathon is not just a fundraiser, but a testament to his get busy living philosophy. He aims to finish in under five hours, despite risks such as pressure sores and autonomic dysreflexia. His dedicated team, including care staff and friends, reflects the community spirit that drives Hampson and his foundation. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
