I feel that Matt's idea is a superior one and a great way forward to overcome the possibility of the future breeding inactive children.

Matt has everything he needs to succeed, but to win such an award would give him the acknowledgement of all his hard work in a business that he is so passoionate about.

Having read Matt's story what stands out is that he is so enthusiastic about what he wants to do for kids to get them interested in keeping fit. Having 2 kids of my own I know it can be a challenge in itself to get them to go for a bike ride round the block! So I admire his drive to actually get up and try and get motivation going amongst youngsters. Good luck! Jackie P

Matt's passion, commitment and enthusiasm for this project holds no bounds. I believe he is a worthy winner.

If we can, you can challenge

Being a finalist in the challenge has really motivated me to take my business idea to the next stage. I have business plans and presentations to show investors. I don't have the money to do this myself so I am hoping to gain investment by using the challenge to generate exposure. It is so exciting developing the idea.
A local school has approached me to possibly work with them on an entrepreneur work shop for the kids. It would help motivate the children and teach them what being an entrepreneur means. I think it is a great idea and hope to be involved. It is an honour to be asked and I hope to do more work like this in the future.
The challenge has given me the stepping stone to proceed with my business idea and I can't wait to get going.

Matt is so passionate about what he wants to achieve that he deserves the opportunity to try to put his ideas into practice. I really wish him luck.

What better business than to take 'kids of the street'. As a teacher of secondary children, he has hit the nail on the head with the 'gap' in the market. The government talk about taking kids off the street - Matt is actually doing it!!!

More power to him I say - he makes our jobs much easier and has a genuine passion for his business - a real case of 'putting something back'.
