Fresh from his recent success at the Cream Awards, fuse8's senior designer, Matt McMillan, has pushed himself to his physical limits at the Haworth 'Mudman' Duathlon, in a bid to raise money for Tia Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue
Starting at the famous cobbled Main Street in Howarth, Matt and 120 other competitors ran for 5km before mountain biking across the muddy moors of Bronte Country for 20km, then hitting the cobbles again to run for another 3km.
Matt finished the gruelling course in two and a half hours and has so far raised £165 for his chosen charity, which rescues and rehomes retired, abused and abandoned ex-racing greyhounds and lurchers.
Matt and fiancée Ali adopted their eight year old greyhound, Mickey, from the charity, after he came to the end of his racing career.
