Matthews Journey In December 2021, my family was struck with the biggest tragedy anyone can begin to imagine. We will take you on his journey.

My 5 year old son would start a battle of his life time, against a life changing illness, known as muscular dystrophy.

These are the impacts of your body, when you are a victim of Duchenne muscular Dystrophy. It's a debilitating disease that is relentless and does not stop until there is no muscles left to attack.

Being a rare disease, most of the treatment required is not covered by any of the services in Canada. So, if you're able, please drop some bottles off for Matthews account with our friends at Riverview Bottle Exchange

Thank you everyone for your ongoing support !

This morning, as Addison and Matthew walked into school, I watched as Addi waited for him to catch up to her at the stairs into the school, and she took him by the arm and guided him up the stairs to make sure he didn't fall. It took me back to this moment, and it reminded me his sister will always be there for him, and is one of his number one advocates, even at such a young age. As a parent, we're always wondering if we are making the right choices for our children. I may have made a lot of mistakes, but this definitely isn't one of them 💕 so proud of you my girl. You are always everyone's number one caretaker, you always make sure everyone has everything they need, and you're always one of the first ones to volunteer to help anyone in need. You may think you're a teenager at 9 years old, and we may bump heads a lot, but you are absolutely a rainbow on a cloudy day, a breath of sunshine after every storm. Don't ever change addi 💕.

Matthews medication finally arrived, after being ordered from Germany on November 13th.

Now we move back to the major issue at hand. Victims of rare disease in this country need more support.

$470 with absolutely no coverage from insurance or the province. In a civilized country like Canada, no one should have to choose between feeding their family or keeping their child's heart beating. Fortunately for us, our family and community would never let that happen, but not everyone is as fortunate as we are.

We are putting an end to the pop tab collection for Matthews medical devices, due to the metal prices it's unfortunately no longer a worthwhile method. If you're looking to help, we are switching our campaign to recyclables. There is an account at Riverview Bottle Exchange under Matthews Journey.

We want to thank Audrey and all the staff at Riverview Bottle Exchange for all of their support during an extremely debilitating time for our family.
