The purpose of this blog is to keep family and friends updated with the most recent news on Matthew. It will also document his biggest trial to date and serve as a reminder of how many people love and support him, and how much the Lord loves him when he has beat this terrible disease.

More About the Game

There are some things I forgot to mention about the game. One of his physical education teachers from jr. high, Mr. Shoe, is fighting a cancer of his own. Last night he made it to the game to support Matthew. It was so nice to see him there, especially since he is fighting as well.

The special needs class at Gilbert High wanted to help raise money for Matthew, and last night our family was given a manilla envelope full of change that they had collected for Matthew. I work with a special needs boy who we now consider a part of our family, so I definitely have a very soft spot in my heart for those individuals. They are absolutely the most happy and uplifting people on the planet, and it's so nice that those kids at Gilbert High got involved with T's cause. Kim Webb set aside enough of my wristbands to give to the special needs class, so I'm sure they will be really excited about that.

The football players at Gilbert high also wanted to get involved, so they sold yellow ribbon pins to the audience to help raise money for T.
