HI! My name is Valerie Lindeborg. I am excited to be running the Boston Marathon for the Matty Eappen Foundation. My son met Matty’s big brother at Harvard, and I have found a family that is giving, kind, generous and special. I am supporting Matty’s foundation to bring awareness to Shaken Baby Syndrome and Child Abuse. The story will bring compassion and tears for all those who value the helpless children of the world. I value children and have coached the Students Run Los Angeles Marathon program for the past nine years where I have helped over 300 students complete the Los Angeles Marathon. I have completed ten ironman’s and I am currently an oncology/hematology pharmacist from UCSF and currently live in Southern California. I coach a Destination Imagination creative problem solving team and advise a Junior State of America Debate team. I devote my life to helping children. Please find it in your heart to donate to this wonderful cause.
