My Story
2 Sep 2023
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
Paul

“I’m posting this donation in honor of my late brother Donald K Matthews, MD who was always supportive of fighting the fight for Kids’ Health. He passed while enjoying exercise in his neighborhood pool near his home in California. His Sisters and I miss him a lot. His championing of good health measures meant a lot to us. His outpouring of love over me, when I revealed to him I have cancer moved a lot of us. God Speed, Donnie.”
