Charity Football Match
On the Monday 9 May 2011 Ocean BMW took on Westerly BMW at Football and Plymouth Argyle Football Club kindly allowed this to take place at Home Park. The evening was a fantastic success and a donation of £225 was raised by every who took part.
Hannah’s Charity Coffee Morning
On the second anniversary of Matthews death, Matthew’s sister Hannah arranged a coffee morning in our home village. Selling tea, coffee, cakes and a raffle in order to raise money for CLIC Sargent. On the day Hannah raised a fantastic £431.71 for CLIC Sargent.
2010 London Marathon
In the on going bid to raise money for the charity that did so much for Matthew during his time with Cancer, I (Matthew's Dad) will be running the 2010 London Marathon for the main sponsor for this event, CLIC Sargent. If I can only be as strong during the twenty six and a bit miles as Matthew was during his fight, I will hopefully be making my son as proud as he made me feel. Finally I finished the race in 4 hours 58 minutes and 34 seconds.
2009 Matthew’s Celebration of Life
Following Matthews death we asked for people to put money to the charity that helped so much ‘CLIC Sargent’ rather than flowers.
About Matthew!
Back in February 2009 our very special son and brother lost his two year battle with Cancer.
Matthew touched so many people in so many ways, he was the most amazing son any parent could wish to have and a very loving brother. He was so brave and so inspirational, he never gave up right to the end.
There are no words to describe just how much he is loved and is missed.
