A MESSAGE FROM Matthew's NYC Marathon Fundraiser
A goal of running 1,200 miles in 2026 has quickly turned into so much more. I am extremely honored to be running the 2026 New York City Marathon with the Release Recovery Foundation Team and raise money for those who need help just like I did. 

Today, being sober for 3+ years, I know firsthand how hard it is to put down the drink and build a new life free from alcohol. I share my story to not only give hope to those still struggling but to their families as well. I was introduced to Release Recovery in 2022 when I was a client at one of the Men's Transitional living houses, I was given this opportunity because I was awarded a scholarship from another NFP helping individuals get their lives back. 

The Release Foundation scholarship model enables rapid placement into treatment, a clear financial plan, and a roadmap to career readiness. They stand with all who are ready to begin their journey toward a life worth living. 

Thank you for supporting me as we support those individuals and families still battling this disease
