The Matthew Dear Foundation was formed to raise awareness of the dangers of anabolic steroids after we tragically lost our son Matthew.

The Matt Trophy is an annual open junior sailing race open to anybody under the age of 18. The race is held at the Alexandra Yacht Club in Southend On Sea, Essex.

The race is free to enter with first, second and third place trophies to be taken away on the day. The race starts at 11.30 on the 6th July 2013. Presentations and prize giving after at the club house.
