Matt Cross, 39, of Raleigh, North Carolina, was diagnosed with stage 2B testicular cancer in 2019. Driven by a new sense of purpose after his battle with cancer, Matt established the Raleigh Testicular Cancer Foundation to create a community of support for men ages 15 to 35. Here, on the Duke Cancer Center campus, Matt plays with his three-year-old dog, Rocky, beneath an oak tree he donated as a living tribute to his foundation. Their tagline is Check Your Acorns.

" “Focus on the things that you can control, try to burn off the rest, and give yourself grace when needed. Accept the help that other people want to give around you. Cancer is not easy, but through your suffering, you can find a lot of positive things and a lot of growth.”
