E.L.  Matta’s Crew was created in memory of Eliecer “Tio” Matta and Lucila Hernandez.  

Eliecer was a beloved spouse, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend. He lost his battle to cancer on July 15, 2020. (b. Oct 2, 1952)

Lucila was a beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.  She also lost her battle to cancer on May 21, 2020. (b. April 16, 1928)

We are running to honor these two beautiful people who will forever be missed. 

We will conquer 50 miles throughout the month of September, Blood Cancer Awareness Month, while fundraising and raising awareness for blood cancers. Blood cancer patients need our support now more than ever in these challenging times. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is at the forefront of the fight against cancer and provides critical support to blood cancer patients across the country. I invite you to be #TNTRESILIENT in the face of cancer by making a donation or by joining me in this challenge!

Across the US TNT participants are training together as teams to prepare for a sports event that will support cures and access to treatments for blood cancer patients!

They will be raising funds to continue The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's funding of the breakthrough development of therapies that have already saved and continues to save thousands of lives. As a team, we are that much stronger, but still need the might of your support.

Please donate now to this TNT team and help us all get closer to a world without blood cancers!

Thank you!
