It was months in the making but Marathon weekend has finally arrived! On Friday, Matt got to join , , and on the Run For Impact panel at the expo to discuss what it means to be involved in the Boston Marathon presented by Bank of America as a nonprofit.

After that, Matt and Lucas joined three other runners involved in the Bank of America campaign on the field at Fenway Park as the were highlighting the Boston Marathon!

It wouldn’t be Marathon weekend without the BAA 5K on Saturday morning. Matt and Lucas were able to get out there with 10,000 other participants, running through Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood, finishing on Boylston Street at the marathon finish line!

Throughout the weekend the Matt Brown Foundation team made stops in at the expo to pick up their bibs and take in the everything the expo had to offer.

We are so excited for Marathon Monday and can’t thank everyone enough for their support that they have shown over the last couple of months. One more sleep stands between us and the finish line!

With the Boston Marathon presented by Bank of America less than a week away, meet Todd. Todd suffered a spinal cord injury at the T12 level as a result of a motor vehicle accident in 2021. After the accident, Todd continued carpentry work at his home before chronic neuropathic pain and pressure sores left him bedridden.

Desperate to find help, Todd underwent testing with the RT300 FES Bike and doctors were impressed by the response after just one visit, citing use of the equipment could result in significant improvement to the gluteal and leg muscles, which would reduce the likelihood of persistent pressure sores and enhance residual leg function and reduction in chronic neuropathic pain.

Todd received his own RT300 FES Bike in March through the foundation grant program and has a smile back on his face.

The foundation marathon team has spent the last couple of months training and fundraising to make a grant like this happen. The same goes to our incredible sponsors at College Hype, Kaloutas & Co, Carroll Advertising and The Red Rooster, Lewis’ Restaurant and Grill, and the Lambda Chi fraternity brothers of Colby College!

We can’t thank them and their own support systems enough as our mission continues. Still time to donate if you can!

On February 5, 2023, Ed Newell was on a group mountain bike ride when he went head first over the handlebars and suffered a spinal cord injury at the C3 and C4 level. Since his accident, Ed has been focused on building strength and mobility, and has now learned to dress and bathe himself, as well as drive.

Due to a lack of endurance, these activities take a lot of time and energy, often leaving him unable to push himself in his manual wheelchair up a standard ramp or into a vehicle. With insurance denying coverage of a power wheelchair, the foundation was happy to step in and cover the costs, as the chair has greatly improved Ed’s independence and ability with everyday tasks already!

Thank you to those who have continued to believe in our mission and helped make this a possibility for Ed!

Never Quit. Overcome. Forever Forward.

Community support has always been one of the most important factors in allowing us to do what we do and give back to the paralysis community. In 2021, we found out that it doesn't matter how many miles might separate us physically, real impact has no borders.

We are incredibly grateful to the Huntsville Havoc hockey organization and their Jersey Nights over the last five years.

From Alabama to Massachusetts – Thank you for proving that connection, compassion, and commitment travel any distance.

In May, Christian suffered a spinal cord injury at the T8 level after a helmeted ATV accident. After spending time at Spaulding, Christian returned home, eager to continue gaining independence in his everyday life.

To help him get there, the foundation was happy to play a role in transforming his bathroom to make it accessible. Christian has been able to access it for a few weeks now and had this to say about it:

"I absolutely love my new shower. It's better than I ever could've hoped for. I've been able to use the shower for a couple weeks now, and it has already made a meaningful difference in my independence. Having the accessible shower is helping me feel much more confident about being able to shower on my own, even when no one is home. The modifications have also made my daily routine much smoother and less physically demanding. What used to feel stressful or time-consuming is now far more manageable and that has made a big difference in my overall comfort and confidence."

Thank you to our incredible support system for making this a possibility for Christian!

We join the BAA, running community, and countless other charities in mourning the loss of Susan Hurley. Susan was a pioneer in the running and fundraising world who gave her all to simply help others, especially our foundation. We will miss her dearly and our condolences go out to her family and friends.

Checking in for !

Staying active and keeping the body moving is critical after a spinal cord injury. That is why the foundation was happy to be able to present two individuals who suffered spinal cord injuries in 2025 with FES bikes for them to use in the comfort of their own home.

Chet Johnston suffered a spinal cord injury at the T7-T12 vertebrae and Joseph Vallee’s spinal cord injury was at the T4 vertebrae, leaving both young men with paraplegia.

These FES bikes use surface placed electrodes to send low-level electrical pulses that cause coordinated muscle contractions and a pedaling motion. Thanks to Restorative Therapies, Chet and Joseph received the RT300 cycle!
