Miles For Matt

The Miles for Matt Campaign

The Miles for Matt Campaign is a nationwide initiative dedicated to honoring Matthew Friedman’s legacy through movement, service, and community impact. Built on multiple pillars, this campaign unites runners, walkers, families, and supporters across the country in a shared mission to raise awareness.

The campaign includes participation in races on college campuses, reflecting Matthew’s own academic journey and passion for learning. It also extends to major national events such as the TCS New York City Marathon and the Brooklyn Half Marathon, where supporters carry Matthew’s name across some of the most iconic running courses in the world.

At its heart, the campaign is anchored by the Annual Miles for Matt 5K Run/Walk in Marlboro Township, New Jersey. This signature event brings together the local community, friends, and families to celebrate Matthew’s life while advancing the Foundation’s mission.

Every mile covered in the campaign represents more than just distance — it symbolizes progress toward funding volunteer Emergency Medical Services, advancing brain aneurysm research, and continuing Matthew’s legacy of service, perseverance, and community commitment.
