It was his only appearance on the show, and he can be seen sitting in the student union playing chess right as writer enters setting up the very memorable moment and a line read we still hear today underpants. Matt Foster was on that Boy Meets World set in September of nineteen ninety eight through the Make a Wish Foundation of Western New York. The seventeen year old had Rabdo Mayo sarcoma, an extremely aggressive and unusual muscular and soft tissue cancer. He was diagnosed to just fifteen, and after months of treatment, the family knew that things were not looking good. He was offered to make a wish trip, something he could do to get away from the harsh reality he was living, and he was told he could pick anything, and he chose to come to see his favorite show, Boy Meets World, being taped, and so his family, which included two parents and five siblings, and with the help of producer Karen McCain, made the trip to Los Angeles to sit in the audience. They sat in on the table read they were offered to have lunch with a star of their choice, and Matt shyly grinned with his answer.

The seventeen year old had Rabdo Mayo sarcoma, an extremely aggressive and unusual muscular and soft tissue cancer. He was diagnosed to just fifteen, and after months of treatment, the family knew that things were not looking good. He was offered to make a wish trip, something he could do to get away from the harsh reality he was living, and he was told he could pick anything, and he chose to come to see his favorite show, Boy Meets World, being taped, and so his family, which included two parents and five siblings, and with the help of producer Karen McCain, made the trip to Los Angeles to sit in the audience. They sat in on the table read they were offered to have lunch with a star of their choice, and Matt shyly grinned with his answer.

To Panga, we.

To Panga, we.

Took pictures, We laughed at the size of his family who was on the trip with him, And even though I messed with him a little for being so nervous and shy, I remember cherishing the time I had with Matt and his family, and really any make a wish kid we were lucky enough to meet during our time on the show. The Fosters took pictures with the rest of the cast, and when it was time to return to the audience, matt and his dad took the liberty of staying on the floor, interested in seeing how things worked by behind the scenes, and that gutsy decision is what led Karen to ask if Matthew would like to be an extra in one of the.

Scenes, and of course he said yes.

And so Matthew is right there during an iconic boy meets World exchange, visible in at least three shots. You can't miss him. He's wearing his backwards green hat to cover his bald head. And then right before he left for the day, Ben handed him the torn tank top, yes, the one Cory rips off while yelling to Banga, but now it was emblazoned with his autograph. The cast signed enough scripts for Matt and his siblings, and Will promised him the next time he was in LA he would give him a grand tour of the area. Matt's favorite picture from that day was the one he took with his fore co stars Ben and Me and Writer and Trina, and when he got back to school, he even decided to draw it, but he removed everyone except me and him.

Sorry.

He asked his dad to send it to me, but the family wanted to keep it, and I don't blame them. It still hangs in their living room.

Fosters a VHS tape of the episode before it aired, and for a dance at Matt's school, they set up a special room so he could show all of his friends his big TV debut. But despite the happiness Matt had in Los Angeles, things changed on December seventh, when the hospital informed his family there was nothing else they could do. It was time to make sure he was as comfortable as possible, and on the way home from the hospital that day, Matt's dad asked him if there was anything he wanted to do, and he said he wanted to return to the Boy Meets World set. They called Karen immediately, and she said she would make it happen. But then when a last ditch clinical trial opened up in Houston, plans changed. The family wanted to try whatever they could to prolong Matt's life, and then it was impossible to visit during the show's tape schedule. On January twenty ninth, nineteen ninety nine, less than a month before his eighteenth birthday, Matt Foster lost his battle with cancer. Friends and family packed the Immaculate Conception Haffolic Church in East Aurora, standing room only to pay tribute to a boy who had become a symbol of strength and determination for his community, and nearby his coffin lay a wreath from the casting crew of Boymets World. His mom told the Buffalo News that week, one of the saddest things is that he never had a chance to decide what he wanted to do with his life. It all happened so fast for him. But he did love his trip to Los Angeles and meeting with the cast and the crew of Boymets World. That really was a dream come true for him. It was something he would not have ever forgotten, and now we can all remember it too. One month After his passing, the Matthew Foster Foundation was established to continue his positive impact on those experiencing a similar battle. The foundation's mission is to help families with children who are suffering from cancer by providing financial assistance to cover some of their extraordinary costs. These expenses can include rent payments, medical expenses, insurance, gift cards for food and gas, and funeral expenses. They assist an average of forty two West New York families each year, including six to seven families with funeral expenses. But we want to get that number even higher, so we are releasing a new T shirt in Matthew's honor, with one hundred percent of the profits to be donated to the foundation.
