Tackling the Junior Nuts challenge
Thanks for taking the time to visit our fundraising page. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m fundraising right now for Cancer Research UK. There’s no time to lose! Donate to my page today and help bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.Cancer research has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, but stomach cancer is one of the lesser funded and least understood, despite being one of the most aggressive. Survival rates are often very low and we are determined to change that. The #sillyhatformatt challenge raises funds and awareness for stomach cancer research, in memory of our mum & dad's much loved friend, Matt Simpson. We encourage people across the world to join our team and don a hat, pledging to take part in a challenge of their choice and/or to sponsor others. Who's Matt? Fun-loving, easy-going and always inquisitive, Matt loved life. He was best man at Mum and Dad's wedding and he was fit and healthy bloke. Despite this, he was diagnosed with a rare and fast-growing form of stomach cancer (linitis plastica) in October 2012. Matt passed away months later, in November 2013, aged just 40 years old, leaving behind his young family. Creating Change We hope to help prevent this happening to others in the future and to use Matt's fun-loving legacy, his ability to bring people together (and his penchant for silly hats) to create change. What you can do Donate - sponsor us we today. All funds raised via our page are restricted and will be allocated to stomach cancer research. Or join our team here and take part in your own challenge before 18th November 2018.It can be anything that you want to do: a silly hat day at work,school or a walk over a month.The more people we have raising money the better chance we have of funding much needed research into stomach cancer . Help spread the #sillyhatformatt challenge amongst your friends -The more people who know the merrier !!
