We will touch the world #HotWheelsFromHeaven interactive. For many of you that have followed Eli’s story and my post you are aware that years ago while I was visiting Eli’s gravesite all of his Hot Wheels were stolen. In that moment I was so upset with tears running down my face and pure ANGER wishing very bad things on the thief. I left, bought more HOT WHEELS and returned to place them on the headstone. While driving home it hit me “daddy HOT WHEELS FROM HEAVEN” (Turn this negative into a positive, a message from my HERO in life my son Eli). Since that message the Eli Seth Matthews Leukemia Foundation has sent Hot Wheels to all 50 States one Children’s hospital in each. Thousands and Thousands of HOT WHEELS delivered to children FIGHTING for their lives. And we are doing it again!
NEW LAUNCH:
I have tagged Eli’s gravesite the location this all began. Now when someone reads the “GOLD” sticker:

I’M ASKING YOU TO WEAR RED & BLACK ON MARCH 1ST ELI MATTHEWS DAY. THANK YOU ELI’S DAD. PLEASE READ.
Family and Friends, On January 20, 2011 was the darkest time in our family’s life. We had just lost our Eli and had an unspeakable pain in our hearts. One day the Mayor of Oxford, Geoffrey L. Henry called and told us something that truly honored us. He wanted to proclaim March 1st as ELI MATTHEWS DAY in Oxford! He created a proclamation on February 21, 2011. We were so touched that he would honor our angel in this way. We are so excited that so many people have come to support this day in our town, and our country. We love driving around Oxford and seeing all the signs and billboards with Eli’s name on them. I would like to asked all of you reading this that own a business no matter the State, or Country you live in to post “March 1st Eli Matthews Day help fight childhood cancer visit www.BraveEli.com on your sign. Eli touched so many people in his life and even now continues to do so from Heaven. March 1st is quickly approaching. We hope that you will all continue to support this day by wearing red and black which were Eli’s favorite colors! Thank you all so very much for your continued support, kind words and prayers. They mean so much to my Family.
