Help Kerry & Matty Matich Fight Cancer
Nationwide
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

Thanks for the Support 20 March 2024
It has been a nearly a year now since we set out on this journey with Kerry and Matty, while we've made significant progress, we still have ground to cover in reaching our goal.
The latest update on Kerry's treatment shows promising signs with her medications, but she continues to face challenges with her health, including weight loss and gastrointestinal issues. Presently she is receiving intravenous fluids regularly and this week she is prepping for a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy.Let's keep her in our thoughts as she undergoes further tests and treatments.
As for Matty, he's encountered setbacks with his prostate chemo pills, requiring adjustments in dosage and increased costs. Additionally, the discovery of his thyroid issue , his thyroid is growing into his oesophagus ,which adds another layer of complexity to his treatment plan. Your continued support is invaluable as they navigate these hurdles.
Please spread the word about our Give a little page far and wide. Share updates on social media, reach out to friends, family, and colleagues, and let them know how they can join us in making a difference.
