Story

After changing my life 18 months ago for the better to get fit and healthy with a plan to do the GNR for my 50th birthday.....here we are!

So happy to be supporting such an amazing cause and raising money for both the Matt Hampson Foundation and Gym Possible - you've all seen my shares of the phenomenal work they do on Facebook so would appreciate any support you can give!

The Get Busy Living Centre provides expert physiotherapy, specialist personal training, support, mentoring and advice to people suffering a life-changing injury through sport. It's a unique facility which opened its doors in 2018 and is the brainchild of founder and former England and Leicester Tigers rugby player Matt Hampson, who himself experienced a life-changing injury in 2005 leaving him paralysed from the neck down, aged just 20.

Building a sense of community is central to the Matt Hampson Foundation. In the aftermath of an incident which leads to a life-changing injury most people and their families feel isolated with an overwhelming sense of loss for what has been taken away from them.
