What People Are Saying
The Matthew Mark Foundation exists to build confidence, connection, and community through mountain biking–and we're honored by the stories and feedback shared by families, riders, and partners along the way. From first-time trail experiences to deep mentorship moments, these words reflect the heart of what we do. Here's what people are saying about their time with MMF.
"I wanted to thank you for the opportunity your team gave my family in mountain biking. Not only to gain skills on the bike or get in shape, also to be a part of the Homeschool Homies. I want to specially thank you for the push you gave me at the beginning of the road, when we were catching up with others. You might not have thought it...when I was on my bike, I understood that this is what the Holy Spirit does to us, he gives us a push.
​
...I thought I wasn't going to make it, but thank God you were there. You told me, "just concentrate on driving, I'll do the pedaling." I felt like Isaiah 40:29 says, He gives power to the faint, and to those that have no strength He multiplies it.
