A MESSAGE FROM IronMatt - The Matthew Larson Foundation for Pediatric Brain Tumors
🌟 **Running for a Cause: Forever Young with IronMatt** 🌟
As I approach a significant milestone—my 60th birthday—😲 I find myself deeply reflecting on the precious gift of life and the legacies we leave behind. In honor of this transformative moment, I'm channeling my passion for running through the New York Marathon, dedicating my efforts to a remarkable cause: [IronMatt](https://ironmatt.org/).
In memory of the courageous 7-year-old, Matthew Larson, who bravely fought pediatric brain tumors, I am running to support the mission of the **Matthew Larson Foundation for Pediatric Brain Tumors,** often known as IronMatt. Since its inception in 2007, IronMatt has been unwavering in its commitment to combating pediatric brain tumors and alleviating the challenges faced by affected families.
In the 18 years since Matt’s passing, IronMatt has cultivated a dedicated network, working tirelessly to reduce family hardship and fund essential research. The vision is clear: to empower children to *swim, bike, and run* until they reach 70+ years old, not just 7.
Every step of my marathon training, every mile completed, is a tribute to the brave young warriors striving to overcome the unimaginable. But I can't do this alone. With your support, we can amplify the impact of this cause, increasing the number of families supported and broadening the scope of critical research needed to eradicate pediatric brain tumors.
💪 **Join me in this meaningful endeavor!** Whether by offering your encouragement, spreading the word, or contributing financially, every little bit makes a significant difference. Together, let’s honor the memories of those we've lost, champion the fight against pediatric cancers, and create a future where every child has the opportunity to remain *Forever Young*. 🏃♀️🎉 *Ready, set, DONATE! Thank You 👟✨
