We are a team of ex-athletes who are pushing our good friend and former runner Drew Graham around the Great North Run this year. After the success of last year when we raised over £11,000 for the Matt Hampson Foundation and Gym Possible we are back this year but we are upping the ante. Last year we just missed out on 2 hours, running 2:01but aim to smash that target this year and hope to raise a lot of money in the process.

The money we raised for the MHF last year has been used to support Drew's charity Gym Possible a fully wheelchair accessible gym in the North East of England. Thanks to the help from the MHF and all of the generous fundraisers Gym Possible has gone from strength to strength in 2024, opening a brand new fully accessible gym at Gateshead leisure centre.

Please consider donating to this brilliant cause so we can continue to make excercise accessible, thanks.

The Matt Hampson Foundation inspires and supports young people seriously injured through sport through its unique 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 by Founder and ex-England and Leicester Tigers rugby player Matt Hampson, who himself experienced a life-changing injury in 2005.
