I am writing to share some heavy news regarding a dear friend and RMHS 2004 grad, Matt Bolger, and to ask for our community’s support. Matt’s six-year-old son, Tyler, was recently diagnosed with leukemia. This diagnosis has turned their world upside down, and the family is currently navigating an incredibly difficult season as their son begins several months of intensive chemotherapy and hospital stays. As many of you know, the logistical and financial burdens of a pediatric cancer diagnosis are immense. Between the costs of travel, specialized care, and the need to remain bedside, the daily essentials can quickly become overwhelming.

Some more about Tyler: Ty is the sweetest kid. His absolute #1 passion is Boston Sports - especially the Patriots (his favorite players are Drake Maye, Christian Gonzalez, and Kayshon Boutte). His favorite Red Sox player is Roman Anthony ("The Young Guy"), Celtics Jason Tatum, and Bruins' David Pastrnak. He loves collecting sports cards, coloring and drawing, and watching Spidey and His Amazing Friends or Paw Patrol while enjoying his favorite classic candies or go-to snack: Pirate’s Booty.

Funds raised will help with the day to day as they focus on Tyler’s recovery and being together as a family. Please consider supporting Tyler and his family during this incredibly difficult time.
