We are proud that our 2019 Charity in Focus is Cry for Matthew
We will be raising money for the Cry for Matthew on the evening of the 2019 Dyslexia Awards, Celebration and Awards evening, with a game of Heads & Tails, so be sure to bring some money with you to play and be in with a chance or winning £50! (Please be as generous as you are able to be for this amazing cause, every penny goes directly to Cry For Matthew.)
A little bit about CRY for Matthew:
The ‘CRY for Matthew’ fundraising appeal has been set up because currently in the UK over 12 young people a week die from undiagnosed heart defects and in 2012, Matthew Dewhirst became one of those statistics.
CRY for Matthew are raising funds to screen young people in Cheshire and Shropshire for heart defects, especially those that are participating in competitive sport. #12aweek . They are holding a series of events every year, some with sponsorship opportunities for local businesses, and we hope that this may be an attractive option for you to consider supporting locally.
All the money they raise goes to Cardiac Risk in the Young, a small national charity set up to support the screening programme and to also support families as well as undertake a programme of research throughout the UK.
Cardiac Risk in the Young depend on the bereaved families to fund the heart screening days so that money given to the main charity can be used for research and counselling support.
The specialist screening that is offered has a cost of £50 per person, but this is a fraction of the true cost of the service and we know, that by offering this screening, reduces the risks of Young Sudden Cardiac Death by 90% – so the money you donate at the Dyslexia Awards WILL help make a difference and save lives!
