Hope for Matthew: Fighting Childhood Cancer Together

Our little boy Matthew is bravely facing a relapse of Rhabdomyosarcoma — a rare and aggressive childhood cancer. Heartbreakingly, we learned that his cancer returned for the second time on the same day he started junior infants, a milestone he had been so excited for.

Matthew loves exploring the outdoors, going on little adventures, and asking endless curious questions about the world. More than anything, he just wants to feel better and get back to being a kid — running outside, laughing, and learning with his friends.

We’re currently exploring treatment options that may involve travel, medical expenses, time away from work, and the many day-to-day pressures that come with supporting a young child through serious illness. While we are doing everything we can as a family, we’ve created this page for those who have kindly asked how they can help.

If you’re able to support in any way — through donations, keeping him in your thoughts and prayers or simply sharing this page — it allows us to stay by Matthew’s side and focus on what’s most important: his healing and well-being.

With love and gratitude,

From Matthews parents

Sarah Gleeson, Paul Carson and all the Carson and Gleeson families
