On May 17, Mattie Miracle will be hosting its 17th Awareness Walk. Being a virtual event enables our psychosocial message to reach far beyond our National Capital Area. The goal is to have participation from all over the country and to raise $50,000.
Mattie Miracle is primarily funded by donations received from our supporters. We rely on your generosity so that we can continue to operate our psychosocial programs and initiatives.
Walk with us on May 17 (10am to noon, in your time zone) and help us turn your neighborhood Mattie Miracle ORANGE! Participating in our virtual walk is easy: All you have to do is WALK, SNAP, and POST from ANYWHERE!!!!
WALK and track your steps (on May 17, from midnight to noon in your time zone) using a step counter/activity tracker.
SNAP photos and take videos showing your Mattie Miracle ORANGE spirit and share it on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts. Be sure to use #MMCFWALK.
POST a photo of you with your total step count by noon (in your time zone) to Mattie Miracle's social media accounts or email us. Remember to use the hashtag #MMCFWALK.
