He only had six months to live

When Matthew went to his doctor, he was in a very bad way. He wasn’t getting enough oxygenand had to be hooked up to a machine in order to get enough. The doctor, unfortunately, had to inform the 25-year-old that he only had six months left to live because he was so seriously overweight.

When Matthew received his diagnosis, he was obviously in shock. He knew he was severely overweight but never thought he would die because of it – and especially not so quickly. But he decided not to let the devastating diagnosis define his future.
