Matthew, a brave young boy who lost his life at just 9 years old after a valiant fight against leukemia. Throughout his battles, Matthew exemplified incredible resilience and positivity. He continued to attend school, play, and bring joy to those around him with his humor and determination. His unwavering spirit and courage are the driving forces behind Miles 4 Matthew.
Matthew's parents and friends established Miles 4 Matthew to offer financial assistance to families facing pediatric cancer while raising awareness and fostering a positive mindset. Matthew, initially diagnosed with ALL at age 4, beat cancer but faced a rare relapse in 2022. Despite his struggles, he remained upbeat and determined. His story inspires us to support others and continue his legacy.
We invite you to join us for the Inaugural Miles 4 Matthew 5K taking place on Saturday, October 18th at No Label Brewing Co. With both a 5K & 1K there is something for the whole family to enjoy!

Matthew's Journey
Matthew's journey began when he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) at the tender age of 4. He endured over two years of intensive treatment, triumphantly ringing the bell in October 2020 to signify his victory over cancer. With his cancer in remission, Matthew eagerly returned to school, embraced his love for baseball, and enjoyed swimming daily.
Tragically, in the summer of 2022, Matthew was diagnosed with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML), a rare and aggressive form of leukemia. His treatment plan included a bone marrow transplant, but complications arose, including pneumonia and a secondary cancer affecting his chest and heart. Despite a rigorous treatment regimen, including another bone marrow transplant, Matthew's condition worsened, and he was eventually diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Matthew passed away on May 4, 2023, just two weeks after his last diagnosis.
