Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have created this page because I was horrified to read an online article today reporting that Steve Carruthers and Vicky Matthews (who appeared on Channel 4's Undateables) have been receiving abuse from online trolls.

Steve and Vicky should be able to enjoy the excitement of their forthcoming marriage on August 30th 2015 but there are vile people trying to ruin their happiness by sending online messages of hate about Steve's looks and questioning why Vicky would want to marry him.  They also receive this abuse when out in public!

Earlier this year, the nation watched a romantic and public marriage proposal from Steve and I think that the general public are happy for them!  We just need to prove it!  

By way of saying 'Congratulations' to Steve and Vicky I want to counteract the negativity they have received from strangers by showing them that there are strangers out there who don't think in that way and are supportive of their happiness! 

Steve is a 'Face Equality Champion' for Changing Faces, a charity for people and families who are living with conditions, marks or scars that affect their appearance.  They are committed to promoting a culture of confidence,  positivity and acceptance around disfigurement.

So I think that supporting this charity would be an appropriate way of sending a message of support to Steve, Vicky and others like them.  Please check out their site and see what our donations can do for people:

I have not set a fundraising goal to hit as I want people to feel comfortable to donate a small amount and then I ask that they share this page, get it going viral and together we can raise a good amount for this amazing charity!
