Hey Klondike.. I'm sure you've probably heard of Matt.. you just haven't placed who he is...

Matt.. is Matt the Wonderboy..

First two paragraphs of the story...

"Scuba Diving history was made when Matt Johnston, a 29-year-old man from Minnesota, who must breathe through a ventilator via a tracheotomy 24 hours a day, dove in the ocean for the first time.

Johnston, who shrugs off his Duchenne's muscular dystrophy as just another small thing in his life to worry about, completed two dives in the Keys Nov. 14. And that's never been done before."

Hello, Update regarding the Today Show. I WILL NOT be on the show on the 12th of Jan. They have re-scheduled it for the 18th (Thursday) of Jan. They will call me on the 17th for verifying day and time. Sorry for the inconvience, I am disappointed that it won’t be sooner than later. But it will happen! I will keep you all posted should there be any updates. Thanks again for all of your support.

Matt,
I watched with tears of joy as you made it in the water, condradulations on your determination to make one of your dreams come true and not giving up.
I salute you and your father and have more respect than I can even type. I hope that one day you can go without the surface supply.

Thanks again to everyone who made this possible for Matt.
