Hi everyone, as some of you know Matt was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2023. At that time, he had a total colectomy and 4 rounds of chemotherapy, and all his scans were clear. In May 2025 the cancer came back. The Drs not only found tumors in his small intestine but also found cancer in his peritoneum lining of his stomach, Stage 4 Metastatic Colon Cancer. We are usually very private when it comes to social media, but we really need your thoughts and prayers. Since May, Matt has undergone several hospital stays and surgeries, along with treatment from a integrative oncologist. Our family has been devastated by this diagnosis, but we’re determined to do everything possible to help him beat it and get back to the life he loves. We as a family have made the decision for him to begin an advanced and personalized treatment plan at Envita Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona — a leading facility known for combining the best of both conventional and integrative medicine to target cancer at its source. Envita offers a unique and comprehensive approach that includes personalized immunotherapy, targeted treatments, and nutritional support designed specifically for each patient’s genetic and immune profile. We truly believe this is what will give him the best chance at healing and improving his quality of life. However, this type of specialized care comes at a significant cost — much of which is not covered by insurance. Between medical bills, travel, hotel costs, and daily expenses while he undergoes treatment in Arizona for 4 to 6 weeks, the financial burden will become overwhelming for our family.

We are asking for your help to ease the financial stress so that Matt can focus entirely on his recovery. If you’re not able to donate, please consider sharing this page to help us reach more people. Your prayers, love, and support mean more than words can express.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us in this fight. Matt has always been the one helping others — now it’s our turn to help him.

The Smith Family 


Matt, Jeanne, Rylie and Reagan
