Thank you for keeping Mattie's memory alive!

Dear Mattie Blog Readers,

It means a great deal to us that you take the time to write to us and to share your thoughts, feelings, and reflections on Mattie's battle and death. Your messages are very meaningful to us and help support us through very challenging times. To you we are forever grateful. As my readers know, I promised to write the blog for a year after Mattie's death, which would mean that I could technically stop writing on September 9, 2010. However, at the moment, I feel like our journey with grief still needs to be processed and fortunately I have a willing support network still committed to reading. Therefore, the blog continues on. If I should find the need to stop writing, I assure you I will give you advanced notice. In the mean time, thank you for reading, thank you for having the courage to share this journey with us, and most importantly thank you for keeping Mattie's memory alive.


As Mattie would say, Ooga Booga (meaning, I LOVE YOU)! Vicki and Peter



The Mattie Miracle Cancer Foundation celebrates its 7th anniversary!

The Mattie Miracle Cancer Foundation was created in the honor of Mattie.

We are a 501(c)(3) Public Charity. We are dedicated to increasing childhood cancer awareness, education, advocacy, research and psychosocial support services to children, their families and medical personnel. Children and their families will be supported throughout the cancer treatment journey, to ensure access to quality psychosocial and mental health care, and to enable children to cope with cancer so they can lead happy and productive lives. Please visit the website at: www.mattiemiracle.com and take some time to explore the site.

We have only gotten this far because of people like yourself, who have supported us through thick and thin. So thank you for your continued support and caring, and remember:

Sunday, March 21, 2021

Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2009. Mattie was at the "Mattie March." The March was an outdoor event his support community planned for him. I remember timing Mattie's cancer treatment around this event! That day, Mattie's preschool buddy, Zachary, stayed close to Mattie. Zachary was a great and loyal friend to Mattie throughout his cancer journey. I always say I learned a lot about friendship from watching these boys interacting over the years. 


Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.

  • Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 29,816,688
  • Number of people who died from the virus: 542,343


After about a month developing our Virtual Walk and Raffle Websites, they went live today! I spent the day testing them out and making purchases. All I can say is thank goodness I started this project early! To check out the Walk site, go to:

Given the nature of the new platform, I am unable to integrate the Walk and the Raffle into one website. Hopefully the company we use to host our event will have this issue corrected by next year.
