Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

As 10th August this year would have been Holly's 10th birthday, we've decided to mark the anniversary by raising funds for Caring Matters Now, the charity which was set up to support families and children born with Congenital Melanocytic Naevus, the rare condition which Holly had. 

More information on this condition can be found at http://www.caringmattersnow.co.uk/

Fortunately, for most people this is just a cosmetic condition that is not life threatening.  Unfortunately, in Holly's case the condition led to associated complications and she was not so lucky.

To mark the anniversary, Jackie, Martin, Anna, Meg and friends are taking part in a 25 mile bike ride on Sunday 9 August  to raise funds to enable research into this very rare condition to continue.  We hope you can lend us your support and make whatever donation you feel able to.   

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Caring Matters Now gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your support.

Jackie, Martin, Anna and Meg xxx
