Albuquerque. They are Elissa, Kurt (the parents) and Dilynn and Matthew Petroddy.
Matthew is four years old, and on November 21, 2011 they found out
that he has cancer. His parents took him to see the doctor because he
was complaining that it hurt to walk. They found out that he has
stage 4 Neuroblastoma, which is a rare form of cancer, and
claims about 600 cases per year.
Matthew has been in and out of the hospital
several times since then for tests, MRI's and Chemotherapy. He has
had 5 rounds of Chemotherapy to date, and the Pedrotty family is
now planning on traveling to New York to have Matthew's tumor
that is on his intestines removed.
Family members of the Pedrotty have been having fundraisers to help
with the medical care in helping Matthew fight this cancer.
On April 7, 2012 at 8:00 P.M. there was a benefit featuring the
Three for All group doing improvised theater. Tickets were $27 per person
no matter where you sat. We picked the fifth row.

This is them doing one of their improv skits.
A closer look. They were very funny.
One of the skits was when Orion sneezed
by mistake. The actors took that sneeze and
made an improv skit out of it. Orion
turned into a sneezing Coyote out on the Mesa.
At the end of the skit, Orion sneezed again.
It was a funny skit, and ended on the note
of Orion's sneeze.
The curtain. Orion loved this and wanted Ma to
take a photo of it.
There was a live key-board player also there,
who played music along with the actors.
It was a blast, and we are so glad that we went.
We are also glad that we had fun donating
to a wonderful cause of helping Matthew.
