When the children in our program know that people are watching them, learning from them and being inspired by them, it gives them such an incredible sense of purpose. Thank You Ziggy!! Power. Peace. Purpose. 🥋💜

Sawyer Gipson-Long keeps showing up — and we are so beyond grateful. 💙 The kids in our program absolutely love being around Sawyer, but one of the most beautiful parts of this relationship is seeing how much they teach and inspire him, too. That makes us beam with pride. Even with the demands of a professional baseball schedule, Sawyer shows up. He shows up to class to learn from our kids. 🥋 He shows up to our golf outing with a truck full of Detroit Tigers gear. ⚾️ He shows up to our holiday party. He shows up again and again. Because being part of the MATIO | Kids Kicking Cancer family isn't just about being there when it's convenient. It's about building real relationships, giving your time, and learning from some of the strongest kids you'll ever meet. Sawyer, thank you for your kindness, your commitment, and most of all, for continuing to show up. You are truly part of our family. 💙🥋⚾️ Power. Peace. Purpose. 🥋💜

I think we can all take a lesson from Ziggy who is a powerful Martial Artist…reminding us that when we face any kind of darkness in our lives, we can take a Breath Brake and breathe in the light, and blow out the darkness. Thank you Ziggy! 💙🙏🥋 Power. Peace. Purpose.

Take a Breath Brake with Sensei Lynn. 💜 Whether you’re sitting, standing, or lying down, take a moment to slow down and allow your body to relax. Breathe in the light, and blow out the darkness. ✨ This simple breathing exercise can help bring a sense of calm wherever you are and whenever you need it.

Power. Peace. Purpose. 🥋💜
