The famous Chinese proverb says, ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step’. The good news is we aren’t asking you to walk a thousand miles, just fifteen will do. And 100 miles would be amazing!

From 17thto 23rdJune 2023, we will be undertaking our Walk4Matt, literally following in the footsteps of the first walkers back in 2009. Starting and ending at the birthplace of rugby, Rugby, we will follow the Warwickshire Canal Ring, aiming to raise more than £100,000 to support the Foundation’s work supporting young people seriously injured through sport.

This is your invitation to join us for a day or two. Whether you come as an individual, as family, friends or a team building group, you will make friends for life while raising vital funds for this incredible cause.

See below for the days currently available to participate:
