Matt's Story

written by dad Jaysien

Matthew was orginally diagnosed when he was just shy of his second birthday.  He was diagnosed with Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma after a hematoma formed after a fall.  He battled the illness like a soldier.  He has been in and out of remission since 1990 and his lateest relapse was in the summer of 06'.

He is currently in need of a bone marrow transplant and without it they are saying he is terminal.  Matthew does have a 2 year old daughter who he loves dearly and tries his best to spend as much time with her as possible.
