Watch as dozens of his classmates spontaneously converged alongside him chanting, ‘Let’s go Matt! Let’s go!’
Matt’s Mom, Mrs. Curran, said of this magical moment for her son:
‘They treat him like every other kid, they’re very great with him and they’re like a second family to him. He’s been a fighter since day one, and I didn’t expect anything less.’Read here.
