Stepanek, Matthew J.T.
STEPANEK Matthew J.T. 1990-2004. With deepest sorrow we mourn the loss of this
extraordinary young poet, peacemaker and MDA National Goodwill Ambassador. We
extend our love and compassion to his mother, Jeni Stepanek, who's lost her
four children to mitochondrial myopathy. In his 13 years, Mattie made an
unforgettable impact on millions. His incredible grace and courage in the face
of his disease inspire our continuing commitment to the defeat of devastating
neuromuscular disorders. Memorial donations can be sent to MDA Mattie Fund at
www.mdausa.org, or to P.O. Box 66002, Tucson, AZ 85728. MDA Muscular Dystrophy
