Craig's Last Request, 19 August 2021
We provide inspiration and support to people seriously injured through sport

Story

Due to my current medical prognosis (multiple brain and lung tumours) that are terminal, I want to do one last thing for the Matt Hampson Foundation. Hambo and all the team there are a real inspiration to me, my family and my friends.  If you aren't familiar with his story, check out the details below. 

I hope to make my potential last ever birthday request to be donations to raise as much money as possible for the Foundation. 

The Matt Hampson Foundation inspires and supports young people seriously injured through sport through its Get Busy Living Centre in rural Leicestershire. The centre provides expert physiotherapy, specialist personal training, support, mentoring and advice to people suffering a life-changing injury. The centre’s doors were opened in 2018 and is the brainchild of founder and ex-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.
