Dear PT Nation Community,

I do not often use this email list for personal thoughts or causes, but when I do they are incredibly important to me.

This week I suddenly lost my cousin and best friend, Matt Littlefield. We were born a month apart and grew up together. He was as close to me as a brother. I have never felt a loss like this and I want to thank so many of you have been supporting me during this time. I would now like to ask anyone who is able to please support this cause which is so personal to me.

Matt was 39 years old and is his legacy will be continued by his amazingly cheerful 9-month-old boy Logan, and his beautiful wife, Katie. Please consider donating to this fund to support the Littlefield family and raise money for Logan’s college fund.

Matt had a huge presence with a booming voice and an infectious laugh. He lit up a room. He was incredibly generous—he had a warmhearted readiness to give more than his share— and was thoughtful. He always prioritized his friends and family over himself. Supporting his family was always his most important mission. If you are feeling generous, please consider helping Matt with his mission.

I am so appreciative of the PT Nation community, and I thank you all for your support from the bottom of my heart.

- Dr. Matthew Rome

During these awful times, let’s try to make things a bit easier for Katie, Logan … Ron Aviv needs your support for Support the family of Matthew Littlefield
