出生在德国的男子拜尔（Michael De Beyer），在美国德州经营一间餐厅十五年之久。他早前得悉在其餐厅任职的十九岁女侍应马西斯（Brittany Mathis）患上脑癌后，决心降价出售其佔地六千多平方呎的餐厅，为马西斯筹措医药及手术费用。

马西斯的父亲于二○○○年因脑癌病逝，不幸地，马西斯亦与父亲般患癌。她腿部上月长出皮疹，经检查后发现是血栓，并证实她亦患上脑癌，左脑有一个乒乓球大小的肿瘤。惟马西斯没有买医疗保险，没有足够金钱就医。

拜尔得悉事件后，主动把餐厅放售，希望筹得二百万美元（约一千五百六十万港元）助马西斯医病。拜尔表示：「我不能坐着任事情发生。知道她需要帮助，我却继续在赚钱，我不会快乐。」

With Brain Cancer （01/07/2014）

Michael de Beyer is the owner of a German restaurant (called Kaiserhof) which he is looking to sell to help an employee with brain cancer. Here's 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know about Michael and his story.

1. Michael's Employee, Brittany Mathis, Has Brain Cancer Brittany Mathis is Kaiserhof's, Michael's restaurant, "jack of all trades" girl, working as a hostess, server, and helping out in other ways at the restaurant. She has brain cancer in the form of a ping-pong ball sized tumor in her brain. Mathis learned that she had the tumor after a neurosurgeon examined her and conducted an MRI and CAT Scan. Brittany had entered the hospital after complaining of headaches, poor vision, and dizziness. Brittany's tumor is on the left side of her skull, which has led to a rash on the side of her face. Her father died from a similar condition in 2000 according to YourHoustonNews.com. Brittany's problems are further compounded by the fact that she doesn't have health insurance, which is where Michael de Beyer enters the picture.
