Update: Due to the outpouring of support quickly and generously by so many of you, we quickly reached our initial goal! How wonderful. Several donors have written to request we set an even higher goal--while being grateful and so proud of all we've raised so far--please consider ways to keep spreading the word to allow as many as possible to experience the joy of helping out Matt even more!!

Hey all you fabulous friends and family,

This is a GoFundMe campaign for Matt Drake who is now very challenged by a stomach cancer diagnosis. You may have seen his posts on Facebook. As his community watches him make a heart wrenching foray into healing, especially after having fought this battle before, we thought to raise money to keep his intervention protocols as robust as possible.
Knowing how these trials of drugs and surgeries can be overwhelming and disheartening, we thought that Matt could use the extra cash for other interventions such as acupuncture, naturopathic help for side effects, for massages, psychotherapy, etc., and any other needs that can assist him and his family.

As members of his class of 1980 from Gunn High School, we wanted to make sure that he feels heard and supported by us. We are all affected when a loved one has to go through this and in this way, we hope we can show him that he is not alone. Our heart goes out to Matt.  (This campaign was Inspired by Sally Leininger Arnold.)

Please consider donating!
With love,

Susie Herrick and the community of supporters for Matt Drake
