Matthew Brunner & Family

Hi, my name is Jenny and I’m starting this GoFundMe to support Matthew Brunner and the whole Brunner bunch as they face and fight his diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer.

A note from Daniela:

Our family has been faced with a battle we couldn’t have imagined. And I know many have fought it. Matthew has been diagnosed with stage four, pancreatic cancer. He will begin chemo on Monday and we plan to fight hard. Some days we hit bottom and today is one of those days. He is the absolute love of my life and the best father imagainable. He has lived every moment of our life together for me and our children and God. He is a fighter though and I know he will give it all he has. As we begin the fight we will seek additional medical advice from UVA or JH, if possible.

Many have reached out. Many have prayed and shared stories of hope at a time when it is so vital to us. We do believe in miracles. So we ask that you keep us and our children in your prayers.

Please know that your kind words, thoughts, and prayers do not go unnoticed. If I fail to thank you, which you certainly deserve, forgive me. And I know so many of you will share your prayers and stories of hope in comments to us. And we promise to read and appreciate them.

We also plan to try to live our life while we do this. Take our babies to do things, begin school, and share them as I always have. I love seeing fb memories so much. School is about to begin and I hope to work and the children will also do the best they can. Maybe a dose of regular life will do us all good, at times.

We are blessed with family and friends that love and adore us. And we appreciate all your prayers and kindness.
