Hi, my name is Matt D’Netto and welcome to the Triple Threat Tour website, your source of information for the insanely ambitious and recently completed fundraising challenge in aid of the MS Society. My older brother Chris was diagnosed with MS in 1999, and this challenge was my way of contributing to the MS Society who have helped both Chris and my family deal with his condition ever since. The Triple Threat Tour was a solo challenge comprising three events, each as deadly as the last, which took place over the course of one action-packed, injury-ravaged week. The events being...

1) Running the Flora London Marathon (April 26th 2009)
2) Cycling from Land’s End - John O’Groats (April 27th – May 1st 2009)
3) Completing the Three Peaks Challenge (May 2nd)

I would like to say a few huge thank yous to the people who helped me complete the tour. First of all to my support team, my dad Euan D'Netto, and my good friend Tom Ward-Davies, and also the kind people who provided treatments along the way - Tim Hill and Heather O'Shea from the Jonathan Webb Clinic, Bill Dove from Metrostress and Trevor Chisman from Woodland Herbs.

Check out my training blog to see how I got on during the challenge - there are lots of photos on my facebook page. I will also be posting a video of the weeks' events very soon...

The purpose of the tour was not only to raise funds for the MS Society, but also to raise the profile of MS amongst the general public.  The disease affects around 85,000 individuals in the UK alone, yet most people know nothing about it! So be sure to explore the website and find out more.

The MS Society supports those affected by the disease and provides funding for research projects aimed at understanding MS and developing new treatments, making it a truly worthy cause.

There’s still a long way to go to my £10,000 target, so please sponsor me by visiting my justgiving site. Every penny donated will go directly to the MS Society and will make a huge difference to the individuals and families affected by MS in the UK. Also, don’t forget to tick the Gift Aid box, adding 25% to your donation at no extra cost to you!

Please dig deep, give big and spread the word!

Matt
