This is a St Patrick's Day themed benefit to help 4 year old Matthew Davidopoulos get a wheelchair accessible van.  Matthew was diagnosed with Type 1 Spinal Muscular Atrophy in 2009, when he was 8 months old.  With this diagnosis Doctors didn't believe that Matt would live to see his second birthday. This was devastating news for his family. However, Matthew continues to defy the odds and will be turning five years old this spring. Matt gets around in a powered wheelchair and is accompanied by a great deal of medical equipment whenever he leaves home.  He needs to travel in a wheelchair so his head, upper body and spine can be properly supported at all times.  The challenge the Davidopoulos family currently faces is getting Matthew safely to all his doctor appointments, therapies and other activities.  Although Matthew cannot walk or sit up on his own, he is a very bright and humorous boy who never, ever stops talking and enjoying life.   Please come and join us for a great cause and of course WEAR YOUR GREEN or be "Fined".
