Thanks to the internet, he has connected with many other people around the world who are also fighting this fight. In fact, while traveling around the States and abroad, he has even met up with some of them!

Blogging about MS and utilizing social media has also helped him better understand the people in theMS community.

For Matt, blogging has played an essential role in maintaining the willpower and motivation to keep fighting to overcome this disease.
