Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. My name is Matt Baird and I'm a very average triathlete from Bristol and the Features Editor of 220 Triathlon magazine. 

I want to show my support for the NHS and highlight how people can still exercise when on lockdown by completing my own DIY garden triathlon, involving swimming 1.9km in a 2.6 metre paddling pool, a 90km ride on a static bike, and a half marathon (21.1km) run in my rather small South Bristol back garden.

The aim will be to complete the 113 kilometres in 6:30 hours, just in time for the 8pm NHS round of applause.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
