Diagnosed in 2018 with a non-cancerous tumor that caused brain injury, radiation scarring, and even Type 1 diabetes, Matt turned his adversity into purpose. He’s raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, tackling his 13th Tough Mudder in a gorilla costume (with pie-to-the-face stakes), and chasing his dream of becoming a paramedic—now studying at the University of Hull. His mission? To show others that life after diagnosis isn’t over—it’s just beginning.
