In this heartfelt conversation, Matthew shares his journey as a brain tumour survivor and the profound ways in which it challenged his identify, routines, and mental health as a young adult. He talks about paving a way forward, sharing the question that helped anchor him through his most difficult moments: “What can I do today, right now, in this moment?” 

While adversity might look different for everyone, the path through it is built one step at a time, through resilience and courage. Matthew’s story reminds us that there is hope, even in the toughest of times.
