Matt and Lindsay met in high school and have been happily together ever since. Ryan completes this family of three (five if you include the pups, Max & Chip!). Matt works at a payment processing firm and Lindsay works at a local architectual sinage company. During their free time Matt enjoys playing and watching football, spending time with his family, and of course, playing with Ryan. Lindsay says she enjoys watching the boys play and wrestle around. She also enjoys cooking and lots of sweet cuddles!

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.
