matt needs a hat.

(his head is about to be bald as heck)

bummer news:
I'll be starting chemotherapy on Sept 15th to treat stage III cancer.

good news:
my case is curable, I have a great care team, I have support from my family, and my upcoming treatment in Wisconsin will hopefully keep me cancer free for years to come.

you can help me out by:

sending recs for tv, movie, music, video games, podcasts, etc.

or if you're wanting more ways to help, here's an idea I like:

You buy a hat
You send me the hat
You watch me beat cancer while wearing the hat you picked

inspiration for fun things to put on my bald-ass-head:

fish hat


hot dog 'trucket' hat


banana hat


i love when people tell me things. i love knowing hat


Pure Moods hat


purple poodle hat


send any hat of your choice 🧢

you can send any hat you like

hoping for fun but somewhat wearable hats that I can wear to the infusion center

would be happy and grateful for any headwear you think might bring a bit of joy to treatment and recovery


where to send hats

hats can be sent to my parents address:

Matt Callahan
<add your name too so I know who sent the hat>
