The You Matter Marathon Turns 10 this Month!
This November marks an incredible, monumental milestone: the 10th Anniversary of the You Matter Marathon! What started a decade ago has grown into a global movement. We’re thrilled to celebrate this anniversary and reflect on everything we’ve accomplished together. Since 2016, we’ve engaged over 300,000 participants, partnered with more than 2,200 ambassador organizations, and together shared well over 3 million cards! Our reach now spans all 50 states and over 100 countries—a truly humbling testament to the power of kindness and connection.
Share Your Story with Us
As we celebrate a decade of impact, we want to hear from you! Every person who has participated has a unique story about how this simple message touched their life, or the life of someone they shared it with. Whether it was a moment of hope, a powerful connection, or a small act of kindness, your story is part of our history. We would love for you to share your memories and experiences from the last 10 years. Submit your story on our website or join us for a live story telling session. See below for details.
