London Marathon is my ‘Everest’ – Matt Hampson

More than two decades after a life-changing injury, former England Under-21 rugby star Matt Hampson is tackling his “Everest” at the 2026 London Marathon.

Navigating the course in a custom racing chair while ventilator-dependent, he is supported by a dedicated team including former jockey Sir AP McCoy, with the aim to help other young people through the Matt Hampson Foundation.
