Let's help Mathew live his dream and get to Ireland and the UK!

Otago

In September Mathew and Chris are leaving these shores on a trip of a lifetime to the UK and Ireland!

It’s been a long time dream for Mathew so we’re really excited we can actually make it happen. Mathew is an incredible musician from Otago who has never let his blindness or autism stand in the way of his passion, enjoyment and amazing talent!

He has a deep love of Irish music and culture (including the odd Guinness) and is a real master of the tin whistle. In fact the maestro has even been gifted with perfect pitch! A truly rare Super Power! …1 in 10,000 so they say.

So here is our chance to all chip in for a brilliant cause and collectively put that big tick on Mathews Bucket List alongside ‘Big Dream’!

Chris Butchard's involvement (page creator)

My name is Chris and I have been lucky and privileged enough to work with Mathew for the past 7 years. His big dream has been to get to Ireland and I'm extremely happy we can make this happen for him as he thoroughly deserves this amazing opportunity.

Use of funds

We will be extremely grateful for all of your kind generosity. Your donations will help cover the many costs of the trip so Mathew can have the best time ever! ....After all it's a pretty long way to Tipperary.

Lets help make Mathews dream come true!!

Thank you!!
