#147 - John Matthews - Ride Hard, Breathe Easy

Built Not Born

Sep 8 2024 • 42 mins

John Matthews is the founder of the non-profit Ride Hard, Breathe Easy.

John and his team at RHBE have raised close to $1 Million Dollars and helped thousands of lung cancer patients as they undergo life saving treatment.

John started RHBE in memory of his late mom, Kathleen Matthews. Before his Mom lost her life to lung cancer, John promised her he would "do something" for lung cancer patients.

That "something" became a commitment of raising $1 Million Dollars for lung cancer patients.

John and I discuss what it was like to bike across the country, the numerous challenges cancer patients face as they go through treatment and why "Many Hands, Make Light Work."

"Life is Built, Not Born."
