The family of a man from Kelligrews who is battling for his life with inoperable brain cancer is hoping for a miracle with an experimental treatment in another province.

Matthew Eddy, who’s 38, and his wife Sarah have three young children they have to leave behind for an undetermined amount of time as they wait for the call to go to Winnipeg. Among the conditions is a requirement to have a place of residence there, which they have secured, so the family will be running two households

Family and friends have set up a GoFundMe to help. Eddy’s brother-in-law, Chris Fagan, says it has been a rough journey for everyone.

He says Eddy has gone through everything from radiation to chemotherapy, but it was not successful. Fagan says it’ll be years before he can undergo radiation treatment again, making the experimental trial one of their only hopes to keep the cancer from spreading.
