My brother, Bryon Tyler Burdick, died from leukemia in 1989. Since 2003 I've done an annual fundraiser by running marathons and half-marathons for different charities in his memory (other than 2006 when I donated a kidney).

2023 is my final fundraiser and I'm going out with a blast... both running a half-marathon AND kayaking a half-marathon in the same weekend

This year I'm asking you to donate to the Food Bank. Every dollar raised on this page will provide 5 meals to those in need and there are nearly 600,000 people in the Food Bank's service area who do not know when or from where their next meal will come.

Please consider contributing to the Food Bank and joining in their mission to end food insecurity.

Matthew

Note - the plan is to do both of these the weekend on October 28 though the kayaking is a bit weather dependent
