Profile and story
Mathias was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma in December 2012. Today, he is in remission. He continues to visit the CHU Ste-Justine for biannual follow-up appointments, including in ophthalmology for his ocular prosthesis, which he received after losing an eye to the disease.
This young boy is full of joy and affectionate, and he is said to have a good sense of humour.
His favourite meal is pizza with bacon, his favourite colour orange.
Matt, as he is nicknamed, likes to practice sports, including soccer, cycling and swimming, and he also loves camping and playing with his Switch.
His wish is for the COVID crisis to end as fast as it began so that he can go back to playing with his friends and fulfil his dream of visiting Walt Disney World thanks to Make a Wish Canada. He had been scheduled to go, but his trip was cancelled due to the pandemic.
Message from Mathias:
Thank you for getting involved with the Fondation. Each dollar raised makes a real difference and encourages us as a family, because it allows us to see everything that’s done to give each sick child the hope of being cured.
