Story

This fund has been set up in memory of Matty Hatton, Forever 17, who passed away on 5th Feb 2022 following a 5 year battle with Medulloblastoma, a cancerous brain tumour.

Matty had a love for life and had a zest to live it to the max. He was cheeky, fun loving and always smiling. His kind-hearted, caring nature meant that he was loved by all that met him.

Learning to live without our amazing boy has been more difficult than words could express and at times it has been a lonely dark place.

To know him was to love him 💙

The Bodie Hodges Foundation is a charity that has been invaluable with helping Steve and I to learn to cope with our tragic loss, through both 1-1 counselling and attending the groups specifically designed for bereaved mums and dads. This is provided to us at no cost to ourselves.

We would like to be able to support the charity financially so that they can continue their amazing work.

Alongside this we would LOVE to raise enough money to set up a sibling support group for siblings over 18 as there is currently no such group available. This we feel would be extremely beneficial.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and we are very grateful for any donations, no matter how big or small 💙
