How you can help

My husband, Matt, has been fighting synovial sarcoma cancer since May 2016. He has endured years of numerous treatments and gave his all to his fight. Unfortunately, the cancer has progressed far enough that we have been given a terminal diagnosis for Matt. We are cherishing these weeks in which he is with us.

Matt and I shared our life together for 12 years. Our son, Emerson, and I welcome all the love and support that many have already shown us, and that we expect many more will want to show us. Feel free to use this page to donate to helping us start our life again in the coming weeks, if you feel moved to do so. If you would simply like to leave a memory of Matt, or spend time with this memorial website, that's okay, too. Thank you for your love.
