Martyn J Hampson Charity Cup

Introduction

Martyn Hampson, was a wonderful husband, father, son, uncle, friend and Magic player - who died after a tragically short, from the moment of diagnosis, battle with cancer. He is forever in our hearts, sorely missed and remembered with our annual charity event which raises money for Cancer Research UK, Macmillan Cancer Support and a charity nominated by the tournament winner.
