ABOUT MATTIE BROWN

Mattie Brown is a 7 year-old boy battling osteosarcoma, a very deadly form of bone cancer. Osteosarcoma causes bone cells to divide rapidly, preventing normal bone tissue from forming. Mattie was diagnosed with cancer in both of his arms, one wrist and one of his leg bones. He underwent surgery in the fall of 2008 to remove four tumors and now has prostheses in both of his arms and right leg. Mattie has been undergoing chemotherapy since August 2008. Since then, Mattie has spent more days and nights in the hospital than at home. Mattie also faces years of physical therapy to learn how to use his new limbs. Mattie was a student at St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes School in Alexandria, Virginia when he was diagnosed. Prior to that, he attended preschool at Resurrection Children’s Center in Alexandria.
