Matt Hampson's Six Nations Fundraising Dinner


I've been asked if I would help to promote a fundraising dinner that his being held for the Matt Hampson Trust on Wednesday 3 March at the Battersea Evolution.  I am very happy to do so as this is a great charity. 

Martin Johnson and the full England squad will be in attendance at this great event.


In case you haven’t heard about Matt Hampson, he was a very promising England U21 prop who suffered a catastrophic neck injury in 2005. The accident happened when the England U21 team were preparing for their Six Nations match against Scotland. In what he described as a freak accident, a scrum collapsed and dislocated his neck. Nearly five years on Matt is still paralyzed from the neck down and breathes with the aid of a ventilator. He requires 24 hour support and an estimated £8 million over his lifetime.  All the money raised from this event will go to the Matt Hampson Trust, which offers help and support to the spinally injured
