<div>Our friend, Matt suffered a serious spinal-cord injury in Mexico last summer. He and his friends were on a boat tour off the coast of Cancun, and when diving into the water, Matt hit a shallow sandbank. This resulted in his C5 vertebrae being fractured. Luckily, Matt underwent an emergency corpectomy spinal surgery in Mexico and his spinal cord is still intact so there is hope. Currently, this means he has limited function in his arms, with no control of his triceps, hands or lower body.

</div>
<div>Matt is the most kind, adventurous, fun-loving character. A great man for a party who lights up every room. For those who know him, he can be a little stubborn and opinionated, but he always makes it his mission to bring happiness to everyone he meets. Being an avid traveller he had decided to go to Mexico to volunteer at a coral reef restoration project and finish his trip with a Yoga instructor course.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was repatriated to Ireland where he was initially treated at the ICU &amp; spinal units in the Mater Hospital and is continuing his treatment at the National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH). Both the staff at the Mater, and the doctors, nurses and therapists at the NRH have been amazing. Although he has limited bodily functions, Matt has been making slow progress and is determined to get these back. His positivity has been unshaken throughout. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In order for Matt to recover we need to adopt a more aggressive treatment regime than is possible in Ireland at this time. We are currently in the process of applying for specialist treatment centres including stem cell, exo-skeleton and bio-electric treatments.

<div>Matt will never give up hope but we really need your support!! Please consider contributing to this Go Fund Me. Thank you for whatever you can do and we'll keep you up to date with Matt's progress.

<div>***Update ****
</div>
<div>Matt has just returned from TRAINM in Antwerp in Belgium for 8 weeks of concentrated physiotherapy. Matt has gone from strength to strength Belgium - be sure to check out our Instagram to see videos of his progress. 
</div>

</div>
<div>We still have lots of fundraising to do and we plan to get matt into a new facilities / research projects that will further aid his recovery.
