South African Man Wanting To Adopt Rhino Throws Year Long BBQ
Mathew Hartley BBQ every day for a year Matt Hartley Challenge: In inclement weather, Matt Hartley hosts his BBQs under a gazebo (Picture: Mathew Hartley)
A South African man is planning to brave the wild weather of Wimbledon, south London, over the course of the next 12 months by holding a barbecue every day – come rain, wind or snow – to raise money to adopt a rhino.
Matt Hartley, 31, loves alfresco dining so much that, after his friends challenged him to continue BBQing even when the current warm weather ends, he decided to go ahead with his slightly bizarre plan.
However, although he admits he ‘loves a bit of steak’ he has been forced to take on a more varied menu under pressure from his girlfriend.

As a result, he’s taken to barbecuing meals such as pizza and chicken curry pie as well as prime cuts of beef – and he says any proceeds he raises through sponsorship money will go towards adopting a rhino back in his homeland.
