Kate's fundraiser for The Matt Hampson Foundation
Kate Mason is raising money for The Matt Hampson Foundation
Story
I am thrilled and slightly nervous to share that I'll be running the London Marathon in April, sponsored by the incredible Matt Hampson Foundation. I have seen first hand the positive impact they generate through the remarkable journey of my friend Giselle, after a life changing bike accident which led to a T12 incomplete spinal cord injury.
About Matt Hampson Foundation:
The Matt Hampson Foundation is dedicated to inspiring and supporting young people seriously injured through sport. Through expert physiotherapy, specialist personal training, and a strong sense of community, the foundation helps individuals with life-changing injuries get back to living their fullest lives.
How Your Donations Make a Difference:
Your donations will contribute to the foundation's vital work, including:
1. Rehabilitation Programs: Funding supports individuals in getting back into sports and trying new experiences, providing a sense of normalcy after a life-altering injury.
2. Accommodation: The foundation offers onsite accommodation for those who can't access the center regularly, ensuring they can participate in intensive physio programs and be part of a supportive community.
3. Community Building: The foundation fosters a strong sense of community for beneficiaries and their families, creating a network of support that goes beyond physical rehabilitation.
Giselle's Story:
"The impact it’s had for me is providing weekly Physio and PT sessions and, more importantly, a community of other people with disabilities that I didn’t have access to otherwise. I have had incredible opportunities to attend fundraisers and try new sports, which was so important in getting active again. The biggest impact, however, is my physio gains. 1 to 1 weekly Physio has meant working towards my goal of staircases, because I wanted to travel and not worry about hostels, boat trips or beaches. It made such a difference and me & Jamie can travel knowing that we can make almost anything work. The Matt Hampson foundation ultimate has given me freedom. Because of the work I’ve done with them over the past 5 years I am living my dream of travelling the world. The session and support I have had from Team Hambo is literally life changing." - Giselle Moor
Making a Difference:
I invite you to be part of this journey by supporting my London Marathon run. Your donations will directly contribute to the Matt Hampson Foundation's life-changing work, allowing more individuals like Giselle to reclaim their lives and pursue their dreams.
