A MESSAGE FROM Matthew's Chicago Marathon Fundraising Page
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the 2026 Chicago Marathon! I’m proud to be running as part of Team Activate, supporting the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF).
Chicago 2026 will be my 9th marathon, but I'm so grateful to be able to participate as a part of this team. Through Team Activate, UMDF unites runners across the country to raise awareness and critical funds for those living with mitochondrial disease. Every dollar raised fuels hope for better treatments, answers, and ultimately a cure. Your participation and support power UMDF’s mission to promote research, education, and support for the mitochondrial community. Together, we bring energy, hope ,and progress to thousands of families across the nation. Thank you for being part of this journey.
