Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts after the loss of our beloved Matthew, who meant so much to all of us. Matt was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in November 2023, and underwent multiple extensive surgeries and treatments to prolong his life to be with his family. Unfortunately, in November 2024 the cancer had metastasised and Matt sadly lost his battle a few months later on 20th January 2025. As we navigate this incredibly difficult time, we want to honor his life with a final resting place that reflects the love, kindness, and impact he brought to our lives.

Unfortunately, the cost of the grave and related expenses is more than we can manage on our own. The total expense is £18,000, and we are hoping to raise funds to ensure Matthew has the memorial garden he deserves and a special, private place for his two boys who are 1 and 3 years old to visit throughout their lives.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a tremendous difference and bring us closer to giving Matthew the proper tribute. If you are unable to donate, we would deeply appreciate it if you could share this fundraiser with others who may want to help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your generosity, support, and kindness during this challenging time. Together, we can ensure that Matthew is honoured in the most meaningful way possible.

With love and gratitude,

Matthew’s Family
