BrightBridge Credit Union’s Matthew Medeiros will be running the 2026 Boston Marathon in partnership with Credit Unions Kids at Heart, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and funding for scientific research to prevent, treat and cure pediatric neurological diseases.
This marks Medeiros’ second time running the Boston Marathon with Credit Unions Kids at Heart. He first ran the marathon in 2019, when he was paired with his patient partner, Vraj, a now 14-year-old boy living with cerebral palsy.
“It’s been a joy to watch Vraj grow over the last seven years,” says Medeiros. “He’s quick to give hugs and share his enthusiasm for Taylor Swift. I’m honored to be running on his behalf again and to support the research and services that help him and his wonderful family.”
Since his first marathon, Medeiros says his perspective deepened, explaining, “When I ran the Boston Marathon in 2019, it was extremely important for me to support kids and families in need. Now, I’m running with the same passion, but as a husband and father of two. I feel incredibly blessed to have healthy children, but that is not the case for many other families. That reality makes this mission even more personal and meaningful to me. No family should have to face these challenges alone, and I’m honored to run again to support kids like Vraj.”
Medeiros, BrightBridge’s consumer underwriting manager, has spent more than a decade at BrightBridge working his way up from teller to consumer underwriting manager. All money raised through his run directly benefits Boston Children’s Hospital, supporting its critical pediatric care and research. The public is asked to donate directly to Medeiros’ fundraising campaign online.
Credit Unions Kids at Heart is committed to advancing research and care for children with complex neurological conditions, including cerebral palsy, pediatric epilepsy, pediatric brain cancer and Moyamoya Disease.
