ACCOUNTANT MATTHEW CONQUERS DYSLEXIA TO PEN CHILDREN’S BOOK

24 September 2020 ACCOUNTANT MATTHEW CONQUERS DYSLEXIA TO PEN CHILDREN’S BOOK

Assistant Financial Controller Matthew Wroe has conquered his dyslexia and swapped numbers for words by writing a book in aid of his favourite charities.

The intrepid accountant and father-of-two has raised more than £25,000 for good causes over the last decade by taking part in endurance events – even climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

Now he’s turning over a new page in his fundraising exploits by writing a children’s book based on the iconic JCB Backhoe Loader – with all the proceeds going to children's charities to support vulnerable youngsters.

The illustrated book called The Little Yellow Digger That Saved Christmas is available from Friday (Sept 25th) – just in time for Christmas. Matthew has also produced an interactive colouring book with puzzles and activities which is out soon. Both are priced at £6.99 and available through Amazon.

In the past I have raised money by competing in ultra-marathons, Ironman challenges, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and cycling from Alton Towers to the Eiffel Tower and back. I now have two young sons so taking part in endurance events is proving more difficult. Being dyslexic I decided to do something where I could involve my children while challenging myself.

The book is written in a rhyming style, follows the adventures of a Backhoe Loader and is illustrated throughout. Money raised is being split between the NSPCC, Ronald McDonald House Charity, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and UNICEF.
