Man of action and gung-ho enthusiasm. Matt is an experienced fundraiser for HCPT and a seasoned veteran of creating barmy ideas. He needed little persuasion to jump on board the ride to Mongolia.

Charming, quick-witted and talented on the ukulele, his skills will be put to the test at the vast number of difficult border crossings we will have to pass.

He drives a Toyota Yaris too, so he knows a thing or two about rubbish cars. But that’s about as far as it goes. He’s certainly never driven a mini-van fit for a florist before.
