As many of you know, in May of 2018 Roberta and I lost our son Matthew to a longtime struggle with drug addiction. Since that time, our family has been searching for ways to celebrate Matt's life and to help prevent other families from experiencing a similar tragedy.

On September 22, 2019, our family will be participating in the Shatterproof Rise Up Against Addiction 5k Walk/Run. Shatterproof is a wonderful organization whose mission is to shatter the stigma of addiction, improve treatment quality and access, and save lives. Our goal is to raise $25,000. Every dollar raised supports Shatterproof’s mission to end the tragedy caused by the disease of addiction.

About Matt:

Matt had a larger-than-life personality that overtook a room. His booming voice, big bear hugs, and loud and humorous stories defined his charm. An avid weightlifter who proudly displayed his colorful tattoos, Matt loved adventure and high-speed hobbies, such as hockey, skiing, snowboarding, four-wheeling, ziplining, and skydiving. Above all, Matt was passionately devoted to his family, attending all family holidays, birthdays, and sporting events with gusto. He was a wonderful, loving son who would visit often with a joyful spirit and a giving heart. He had a kind soul and would do anything at any time to help his parents, relatives, and friends.
