Ride with Matheau: Local MTBer's Fight for Life

Hello, my name is Kristianna. I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart on behalf of my beloved friend and soulmate, Matheau Corris. A few weeks ago, what started as a severe headache for Matheau quickly escalated into confusion and blurry vision. After two ER visits, he was flown to UW Medical with a brain abscess. This life-threatening situation led to two emergency brain surgeries, the removal of the infection and a portion of his skull, a seizure, a stroke, and many shared tears. Thankfully, Matheau is now stable and beginning his long road to recovery. But the battle is far from over.

Matheau's world has turned upside down, and he is now fighting for his life. As he can't work for the foreseeable future, the bills are stacking up and demanding payment. We're reaching out to his friends, family, and kind-hearted souls to provide financial support. His dad and I are doing our best to help him cover his rent, phone bill, and utility bills, which total $1,400.00 per month. Matheau has one more surgery scheduled to replace his skull in about five weeks, and then he faces a recovery process that could take up to six months. We're hoping to raise enough for at least six months, to give Matheau the peace of mind he needs to focus on his healing journey.

Matheau is the embodiment of strength, with a love for adventure that knows no bounds. He is the best prankster, has a sense of humor that can brighten anyone's day, and a smile that lights up even the darkest places. He is the man who took me by surprise in every good way, swept me off my feet into a wild adventure, and became the love of my life. His easy-going nature, easy laugh, and willingness to share a beer make him a friend to all. And his secret power? He's an animal whisperer. Matheau is loved by many and has an army of family and friends who believe in him. We know he will make it through this and come out with an epic scar to show off as a badge of his incredible resilience.

Every contribution, big or small, will help lift this tremendous burden off Matheau's shoulders. If you've been wanting to help but weren't sure how, this is your opportunity. With your support, we can ensure that Matheau can focus on his healing journey and eventually return to his life with a renewed spirit. We are deeply grateful for your support, whether it's a donation, sharing this campaign, or simply sending positive thoughts and prayers.
