Our son and brother Matthew had just graduated high school in 2007. In December of that same year he was diagnosed with leukemia. After 13 months of treatments and a stem cell transplant, Matthew lost his battle to this dreadful ugly disease.
Matt had 3 loves in his life: girls, hunting and baseball, not in that particular order.
Bats for Matt is a softball tournament we hold every year in his honor to raise money to give back to the community. It is our way of “giving back”. Originally, we set out to give one $2000 scholarship to a baseball player from his high school at Downingtown West. Because of the outcome of each year’s tournament, we are able to give a second $2000 scholarship to a girl softball player. Money raised is also given to cancer stricken families in our area to help them deal with their struggles and ordeals of cancer. Each year we gift 3 cancer families $1000 each. Each year we help send wounded/disabled vets and children with a life threatening illness go on their dream “Hunt of a Lifetime”. This is much like the Make a Wish Foundation. Lastly we donate money to the Downingtown Little league to assist with field maintenance and upgrades. 100% of the money we raise every year goes right back into our community!
I'm not one to post about loosing our son/brother, Matthew. Although it's been almost 15 years, it still seems like yesterday. Almost always around his anniversary and birthday I get these awesome amazing signs from him telling me that he is still with us. He was always one looking for attention and he knew how to get it. To better understand this email you must first read his story Roses from the Grave. This email showed up on my computer last week. IT'S FROM 12 YEARS AGO!!! I have no idea where it came from or how it showed up on my screen. It's not just the email but the contents of the email. I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS. I can honestly say that I do not remember receiving this back then. After all, it was only weeks after his passing. I feel the need to still share him with his friends. You all need to know that he is still with us. Hope this makes you smile.....Momma C
