Help Kerry & Matty Matich Fight Cancer

We are reaching out on behalf of our beautiful friends, Kerry and Matty Matich, who are currently undergoing treatment for cancer. Kerry, who recently retired from a lifetime of teaching, most recently with children with intellectual disabilities, has been bravely battling kidney cancer for the past two years. Matty, her loving partner, has also recently been diagnosed with bowel and prostate cancer.

Kerry's unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of her students, many with extreme challenges, has been inspiring. Matty has been her rock, providing constant support and care throughout her cancer journey.

Kerry and Matty are private people and wouldn’t ask for help themselves. They have been shouldering many expenses for the past two years. Currently they are out of pocket $9000 monthly for oral medications alone (Kerry currently takes Lenvatinib and Matty will be taking Abiraterone).

Our goal is to initially raise money to help cover their medical expenses, travel costs, and other expenses (such as MRI/PET and specialist costs). Your donation, no matter how big or small, will make a meaningful difference. It will provide them with financial support they need to continue their treatment without added stress.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Lynette Preston and Friends of Kerry and Matty Matich
