Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
After playing rugby
for so long and being forced into early retirement I've decided it's
time to do something with my body, rather than just sitting on my
backside or standing on the side of a pitch yelling at my players, and
who'd have thought I'd get back into the pool; or more precisely I'll
be getting into the Royal Victoria Docks in London to swim a mile!!!
After
spending some time trying to think of who I should raise money for I
settled on the Oxfordshire Outdoor Learning Trust (OOLT) who are trying to
promote the benefits of learning outdoors - a place I'm sure I've
learnt nearly 95% of my most useful knowledge; some might say it's
higher and I never actually learnt anything in the classroom, who am I
to disagree. In addition OOLT are building an endowment fund to provide
bursaries to children in Oxfordshire to aid in their participation in
outdoor education courses.
This is potentially the first step
- or stroke - in my rehab back into the world of sport - other than
being a coach - and I'd appreciate any help in raising some much needed
funds for OOLT.
I'll try to update people on how I get on!
Cheers
Matt
