Matthew's Story
Matthew has dedicated his life to helping others. He NOW needs our help!
Matthew was in the prime of his life when he was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia (TPLL) last year. His chances of surviving the disease are slim unless he can undergo a stem cell transplant within the next few weeks. Matthew needs our immediate actions to ensure his survival.
You might wonder why we have only started this search for a donor now. The donor bank had 3 donors aligned for Matthew, but due to medical reasons all 3 donors are no longer a compatible match. He has been on immunosuppressant medications to prepare him for the marrow transplant, originally scheduled at the end of May, and this process cannot be prolonged much longer.
For years, Matthew has dedicated his life as a Chiropractor to the well-being of his patients and enjoys helping them live happier, healthier lives. Now he needs us! Matthew is strong and full of life, he is an admirable human being and a lovely person who always stands up for those around him.
