Many things describe Matt: sports fan, good student, active, cancer fighter.
Matt was diagnosed with a brain tumor seven years ago. He has undergone
five chemotherapy treatments and even gone blind as a result of the tumor.
That does not stop him from being one of the top students in his school, from
participating in a putting contest at the Duke Children’s Classic or from lov-
ing Duke sports and the Carolina Hurricanes.
Like so many other patients, Matt is an inspiration to us all.
