Matthew was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a solid tumor in his bladder, on January 17, 2007. He awoke from a nap one afternoon in pain and said he
could not pee. An ultrasound revealed a possible sarcoma and a biopsy confirmed that it was rhabdomyosarcoma. He recently went to Mass General in Boston
for proton radiation treatments and has now resumed his chemotherapy treatments at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital where he began his battle.
Matthew loves Star Wars Legos, splashing in the pool, and playing light sabers with his three older brothers David, Stephen and
Jonathan. His favorite food is a plain McDonald’s double cheeseburger (hold the cheese). His family loves to hear him sing “I Belong to
Jesus” and see him enjoying life.
