Last month, Muscle & Fitness published an article about Matt Klutka, a father and marathon runner who is still training hard despite a terminal cancer diagnosis. The story was supposed to run later this month, but it was brought forward as Klutka revealed that he might only have a few more weeks to live. Fortunately, he’s defied the odds and got some more good news earlier this week. The Rock, one of Klutka’s inspirations, caught wind of the article and decided to reach out. We’ll let him tell the story.


This isn’t the first time Johnson has done this kind of thing. Earlier this year he featured another fan of his who’s battling cancer, oh, did we mention it happened on Easter during the Fast and Furious 7 opening weekend? It just goes to show that Johnson is a giant of a man in ways that have nothing to do with his physical size.

To help cover medical costs and provide for Matt’s son Cebran, you can donate to his GoFundMe page.
