My story

 

Hi. Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Matt Driver is an IRONMAN!!!

What a fantastic experience. Nerves at the start. a sore pain during the swim whereby I thought about stopping after just 15 minutes. Got out onto the bike and that's just about "endure, endure".  Then just a marathon to run.

14hrs 28 mins 25 seconds and I have finished. 140miles done and dusted.

Fantastic.

With over £1000 raised YOU inspired me to do this, and Dorset Wildlife Trust need you for all their work ranging from massive oaks to tiny mice. For those that sponsored me over £25, you were indeed carried around the course, but every penny was gratefully recieved and in those dark moments on the bike everyone helped me there. MAny thanks to everyone.


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Dorset Trust for Nature Conservation Limited will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now! You know it makes sense. PLUS, THERE IS NO JUNK FOLLOW-UP MAIL!

Many thanks for your support.
