Mateo thought you might need some reassurance that you don’t need to run for our Marathon Your Way In A Month challenge coming up in August! Why not get fit whilst having fun with family and friends?

Whether you want to walk, roll, jump or skateboard it’s totally your choice.

This weekend he even stayed awake to complete a 24 hour Splash and Stitch challenge. This massive honour has not only helped Mateo to see the huge difference he is making, but will also hugely help us in spreading the word about Capture!

He has been instrumental in helping Capture raise every single penny of the £130,000 that has so far been raised. He has sold raffle tickets, baked cakes, served drinks and washed up. He has spoken to quite literally anyone who will listen about DSRCT and made videos for those further afield.

Yesterday Mateo; Capture’s biggest supporter, found out he has been shortlisted and will be a finalist in the Young Hero section of the BBC Make A Difference Awards. Since day one Mateo has channeled his love for his big sister Liz into making a difference to others diagnosed with DSRCT.
