diagnosed with cancer, so i wanted to do something. i was so fortunate to be able to work with the school and put a web cam in his classroom and one at home. you should have seen the smiles on the faces of matt and his friends on that first day we connected. and when he lost his hair, his friends could see that. his face ballooned up from the steroids. his friends were there with him, joking with him, that would help him take his minds off things. when he went back to school in the fall, his hair grew back, he was so welcomed by his pals because they were with him the whole way. i thought i've got to find a way to have his kids have the same connection. we started this charity, called it hope cam because we wanted to send a message to kids and their families that it is not a question of if you're going back to school. it's when. >> and keeping your friends close by. what did that mean to you, matt, being able to look at your buddies and them being
