Matt has battled 11 types of cancer, as well as homelessness. Matt has lived a life of amazing perseverance and courage. Not only has he lived with horrendous pain and fatigue, he has also endured incredible discrimination. Because of the extensive surgeries and scaring on his face, Matt often gets stares, dirty looks and even called horrible names. Despite all of this, Matt’s friends will tell you he is one of the kindest people you will ever know.
