Finishers Challenge
Eric Matta – Finishers Challenge 2025
I’m taking on the Special Anniversary Challenge of the 100 Mile Ruck March a brutal, four-day, military-inspired event designed to push even seasoned endurance athletes to their absolute limits. We’ll be rucking an undisclosed distance, with unexpected challenges, and minimal sleep, all while carrying everything we need on our backs. They’ve warned us that only 10% are expected to finish, and I intend to be one of them.
Why? Because I’ve seen the strength it takes to overcome extreme obstacles. I’ve completed Death Races, 100-mile ultras, and know the power of a relentless mindset. But nothing compares to the fight a child with cancer faces. As a coach for young athletes since my teens, I’ve seen firsthand the resilience kids possess, and the need for support when they face unimaginable challenges. That’s why I’m dedicating every grueling mile to Why Me & Sherry’s House.
This incredible organization, run by parents who’ve lived through the nightmare of childhood cancer, provides vital support to families navigating this devastating journey. Every dollar I raise goes directly to them, ensuring they can continue to offer love and practical assistance when it’s needed most. Please join me in supporting these brave kids and their families. Your donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference.
