During their free time Matt enjoys playing and watching football, spending time with his family, and  of course, playing with Ryan.

Why do you like to volunteer?

We started Ryan Our Lion with the mission to save our son. That is still our mission and will always be our mission. The money we raise with our events goes towards Nationwide Children’s Hospital and Gene Therapy Research - the cure for Hunter Syndrome.  With the research currently on the verge of going to clinical trial, every dollar we raise truly counts!  Knowing the harder we fight, the better our chances are, to watch Ryan grow into a strong, determined and successful man – who continues to light up every room he is in.
