The race was started September of 2010 by Katie Hopkins and her brother Patrick in honor of their cousin Grace Hopkins who was diagnosed with FA September of 2008. The race was called “The Race For Grace” with about 70 participants. At the after party for the race in 2012, Katie and Patrick announced they were changing the name of the race to "The Race for Matt and Grace" to honor the fight of both families.

We invite you to join the families of FA patients Matt DiIorio, Grace Hopkins, and Alex Fielding on September 23, 2023 at Rhode Island College in Providence for the 13th Annual Race for Matt & Grace. This daylong event features a 5K, 1.5 Mile Fun Walk and an after-party with food and live entertainment.
