2nd Annual Eli’s Ride For A Cure

I have searched my heart for the right words to express my feelings of this day.   Today we made a difference in the lives of so many children.   You may never truly understand the sheer magnitude of what you have done.  I am a father that struggles in this life.   I’m a father that made a promise to his little boy at his graveside that I would carry out his Wishes to find a CURE for this MONSTER that took his life.  In the quest I pray that our good LORD will help bring peop…le into my life that want the same thing.   You see I have been in a war zone that did not leave me with PTSD.  Watching my son go through his battle is what left me with PTSD.  I will FIGHT this FUC@$@@ WAR AND WE WILL WIN!!!!

We tripled the turn out this year.  Thank you.

Great job to our blockers.

Please I know I left off a ton of names and it’s only because I’m drained today emotionally and I want you to know you all mean so much to me.  Eli Seth Matthews Still touching hearts from heaven. Carl Kramer Rick Clark

This is awarded to a student that is going to study for a career in the medical field.  The high school students do so much to help the foundation and without their hard work and dedication to the Eli Seth Matthews Leukemia Foundation we would not be as strong and thriving as we are. We are truly grateful for all that they do.

Mayor Geoffrey L. Henry Proclaims March 1st To Be ‘Eli Matthews Day’

Family and Friends, On January 20, 2011 was the darkest time in our family’s life. We had just lost our Eli and had an unspeakable pain in our hearts.  One day the Mayor of Oxford, Geoffrey L. Henry called and told us something that truly honored us. He wanted to proclaim March 1st as ELI MATTHEWS DAY in Oxford! He created a proclamation on February 21, 2011. We were so touched that he would honor our angel in this way.  We are so excited that so many people have come to support this day in our town. We love driving around Oxford and seeing all the signs and billboards with Eli’s name on them.  I would like to ask all of you reading this that own a business no matter the State, or Country you live in to post “March 1st Eli Matthews Day help fight childhood cancer visit www.BraveEli.com” on your sign. Eli touched so many people in his life and even now continues to do so from Heaven. March 1st is quickly approaching. We hope that you will all continue to support this day by wearing red and black which were Eli’s favorite colors! Thank you all so very much for your continued support, kind words and prayers. They mean so much to my Family.
