Welcome to the general fundraising page for the Matt Hampson Walk where people are very welcome to make donations in support of this totally unique fundraising idea (www.walk4matt.org) We've put a nominal target of £1000 which we beat so we've puit it up to £10,000.
The event entails walking over 100 miles between Rugby and Twickenham and is backed by all 12 Guinness Premiership Clubs, along with a host of rugby legends including Martin Johnson, Bill Beaumont, Lawrence Dallaglio, Andy Goode, Harry Ellis, Dusty Hare, Graham Rowntree and Keith Wood. Starting on May 8th in Rugby the walk ends at the Guinness Premiership final via the Grand Union canal paths with social and fundraising events at rugby clubs and pubs along the journey!
