THANK YOU!!  THANK YOU!!  The support I continue to have is overwhelming and if you're reading this then that means you!!

To make sure we're all on the same page...I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP ON PROJECT WALK!  I'M PLANNING AN IMMEDIATE RETURN!!  SO I NEED YOUR SUPPORT MORE THAN EVER!!

The crazy looking guy to the left here is me after 10 straight days of studying!  That's right!  Studying!  Grad School is kicking my butt!  So what's been going on with me and what am I doing?

  • New web-site!  Thanks Melissa!
  • Going back to Cali - Project Walk
  • Grad School, Klamath River Benefit Bash and what not

Just launched the new web-site!  What do you think?  Matt Never Gives Up is looking somewhat official, but don't let that fool you it's still just me.  Thanks to my lovely girlfriend Melissa for putting this together!  It's still a little rough, but it's coming along.  Keep checking back as we edit and update it...feel free to comment with suggestions.

The above video was taken my last week at Project Walk and it may not seem like much, but this is huge!!! It's a major breakthrough in my therapy, which is why I'm very anxious and excited to get back to continue this amazing progress!!  As long as I keep making progress, and there are people to support me, I want to keep going to see how far I can make it!!  Never give up!

So what will it take to get me back to Project Walk?  Money is the only limiting factor...unfortunately.  I need 250 people to commit to giving me 25$/month for the next year.  I'll be launching a new campaign called 
25 2-Fiddy here real soon.  With it's success I can continue Project Walk and my Mom could stay home with my Dad.  My parents have sacrificed so much already, and I'm stuck between not wanting to be a burden to them and desperately needing their help.  If you want to support a cause where every dollar helps immensely then click the button below...its really easy and it feels so good!  :)  If you have already donated then let me say thanks and that I'm truly blessed to have your support.

The Klamath Benefit Bash was a huge success!  We raised $5500 and a great time was had by all!  It was great to see everyone!  Thank you for coming out and supporting me!  Love you guys!!  Thanks to all the sponsors for their generous support!!  I'll be adding a sponsors page soon.  Next year's event is already in the works...

I've been staying at my parents house in Etna while I regroup and figure out my return to Project Walk.  Their house is a little less than accessible, but thanks to some very generous people there is now a roll-in shower and concrete parking pad.  Thanks Larry Neil, Mike Theofanides, and Don Miller for the stellar concrete work and thanks Myron Johnston and Bill Sheaffer for the shower!!!  They are awesome and help so much!!

I started Grad School online through Colorado State University.  Let me tell you this studying thing is tough!!  I love it and it feels great to be focusing on something in addition to therapy.  I'm able to do this thanks to an amazing organization http://swimwithmike.org/ who is paying for all my tuition.  I can't afford to actually work yet so I'm preparing myself for when I can work again. 

Last, but not least t-shirts will be available soon!!  Details coming soon so check back!!  All the cool kids will be wearing them.

Check out the photos of the home modifications and Klamath Benefit Bash!
