We lost Matthew in September 2020 due to an undiagnosed heart condition. Since that life changing day, our family has made it our personal mission to help save other friends and families from the pain we have felt.
Each year, we walk in Matthew’s honor. This year we will be walking in Matt’s hometown of Columbia, Mo.
We are asking you to take time this Spring to get outside and walk in Matt’s honor. Spring was his favorite season and he would love that you and your family are spending time together outside.
Secondly, Please make sure that you and your loved ones are getting an annual check up. Several friends took our tragedy & made the appointments they had been putting off and discovered life threating issues.
Please consider donating to our AHA Heart Walk Team. This year, our family is planning to match all donations.
Love
Ellen, Maddie, Clay, and Jake
