Matthew Horses Around for Charity

by isleofman.com 29th March 2010

 

Matthew Bruce, a Senior Administrator working in the Trust and Corporate area of IFG International Limited, was trying on a fancy dress outfit for a party when Managing Director Brian Lee threw down an unusual challenge - to wear the outfit, an inflatable rodeo horse, for one whole working day, to raise money for charity!

 

Equipped with a ventilator system to keep his steed inflated through the day, Matthew took up the challenge.  At the end of the day, he had raised  ?130 for his chosen charity which was, fittingly enough, the Home of Rest for Old Horses!

 

About The Home of Rest for Old Horses
