Matthew Lemke is a driven film actor, author, college student, motivational speaker, and photographer. In 2015, he was diagnosed with Arnold Chiari malformation, syringomyelia, and an arachnoid cyst. His life changed forever on January 5, 2016, when he woke up a quadriplegic following brain decompression surgery. Forced to relearn everything from scratch at just 23 years old, Matthew refused to give up. Today, at 33, his relentless drive and deep faith have brought him full circle. He is now completely independent in his daily life again, while remaining fully dependent on God.
