100 miles for Mat — 1% for Easy Agile
Recently fellow iAccelerate resident, Polygon door co-founder, ultra-marathon runner and all-round legend, Mat Wall-Smith posted in the Siligong Valley slack channel that he was planning on “going for a bit of a trot” to raise money to fight Motor Neuron Disease.
It turns out that in Mat’s vocabulary “a bit of a trot” is over 100 miles!
Mat participated in the Hume and Hovell Ultra marathon finishing 3rd overall in an impressive 23 hours, 44 minutes and 35 seconds. I don’t know about you, but the most I can do in 23 hours is a couple of push ups…
As a part of our 1% pledge, Easy Agile donated 1% of our quarterly profits to Mat’s cause more than tripling the amount of money he was able to pass on to the Cure MND charity.
MND (and its derivative conditions) is a topic close to home for Mat and a number of Easy Agile employees so we’re really proud of Mat and honoured to be able to help.
