Among the thousands of Georgia Southern University students donning caps and gowns for commencement today is a young man who doctors claimed would never live the moment.Despite a prognosis that Matthew Chambers would not experience even a first day of school, let alone his last, the Georgia Southern senior is concluding an undergraduate education and currently striving to help others overcome long odds of their own. Chambers, approximately 20 years after being diagnosed with leukemia, is dedicating time, effort and money to benefit Statesboro’s Hearts and Hands Clinic.The Atlanta-native, who will begin working towards a Master’s Degree in the fall, helped raise more than $5,000 since January for the non-profit clinic that provides free health care to Bulloch County’s uninsured. A desire to benefit the clinic originated as a result of Chambers’ early childhood experiences.“When I was about 2 years old, I was severely sick and doctors said it would be a miracle if I lived past the age of 5e,” he said.
