Matt Shannon is battling Pancreatic Cancer
Donation protected
When you have an older brother, you have a best friend from the moment you are born.
My older brother, Mathew Shannon, is the type of guy who always picks up on the first call and is always ready to help whoever is in need. Matt has been a part of the Bradenton / Anna Maria Island community his entire life. He is now calling on the community for help.
Matt has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Anyone who knows Matt knows what an athlete he has always been and has always been in perfect health until now. This illness came out of thin air and when Matt was first admitted to the hospital, he did not have insurance and as we all know the medical bills started to stack up quickly. Since the nature of the disease developed so rapidly and aggressively before symptoms set in Matt has been out of work for two months and admitted to the hospital for one of those two months.
Matt is currently at Moffitt Cancer Center. His first round of Chemotherapy took a lot of fight out of him, but he is still standing and regaining the strength to keep pushing forward.
After collecting enough money to cover medical bills, anything left over will go towards helping him stay afloat while out of work and fighting for his life. We are looking for anyone who can help. Matt has a long hard fight in front of him, but we all know Matt is the most determined, motivated, stubborn, and strong-willed person there is! Some people listen to guys like David Goggins for motivation. Sit in a room with Matt for just ten minutes, you will leave that room more motivated and inspired than ever before! Now it’s our turn to motivate Matt to climb the mountain. He is a fighter. He never quits. He will beat this but needs all our help! Please donate anything you can either monetarily or in the form of good vibes or prayers! He has never met an obstacle he could not climb over, and this is just that. Another obstacle to conquer.
Matt is the oldest of four brothers and is in a loving relationship with his girlfriend Jamie. Many may know Matt as your neighborhood electrician. Matt is a supervisor at Suncoast Electric. He and his crew take every job whether a large custom new construction home or just troubleshooting a single circuit with enormous pride and professionalism.
If you know Matt or our family, please consider helping in this time of need. We thank everyone wholeheartedly for their help in any way possible.
