❤️ Support Flatwater Through Berlin 2026

Turning miles into support for families affected by cancer.

Project StarPaw is not currently accepting donations.

Until Project StarPaw's nonprofit formation, tax paperwork, financial controls, and donation process are fully aligned, every donation link on this website directs to Mathew Riquier's approved Berlin Marathon fundraising page for Flatwater, a Texas-based cancer charity.

100% of donations made through those links go to Flatwater. Project StarPaw does not receive, process, or retain any portion.

Support Mathew’s 2026 Berlin Run

🏃 One Race. Two Missions of Care.

Mathew's 2026 Berlin Marathon participation is through a charity opportunity with Flatwater. The fundraising campaign supports Flatwater's work for families affected by cancer while giving Mathew the opportunity to honor Rachel and Paris and introduce Project StarPaw's developing mission.

26.2 miles. Two extraordinary lives. One mission.

❤️ Clear Giving Promise

There is one giving path on this website today: Flatwater.

A donation made through this website supports Flatwater. It does not fund Project StarPaw, StarPaw Experiences, the future StarPaw Legacy Fund, or Project StarPaw operating expenses.

Project StarPaw will not begin accepting donations until its legal, tax, financial, and governance structures are ready. When direct giving becomes available, this page will be updated with clear legal-status and tax information.

Please refer to Flatwater's official fundraising page for information about contributions made through that campaign.

⭐ What Project StarPaw Is Building

When Project StarPaw is ready to accept support directly, future giving may help make possible:

  • The Brightest Star Experience — one family's brightest possible day.

  • Family Experiences and Retreats — protected time to reconnect, rest, and simply be together.

  • Holiday Celebrations — meaningful traditions and moments during difficult seasons.

  • The StarPaw Legacy Fund — practical relief, family support, and memorial gifts.

  • Mission Readiness — the planning, safety, training, logistics, and care required to protect every experience.

These are future Project StarPaw giving priorities. Current donations made through this page go entirely to Flatwater.

⭐ Our Promise to Families

Generosity does not create ownership of the Moment. A future gift to Project StarPaw will not purchase access to a family's story. Support will never be conditional on photographs, publicity, social media, sponsor recognition, or public gratitude.

The family's comfort matters more than the schedule. Their privacy matters more than publicity. Their moment matters more than recognition.

🐾 Other Ways to Carry the Light Forward

You can support Flatwater through the Berlin campaign, follow the journey, share Project StarPaw with others, open a thoughtful door, or express interest in The Constellation.

Every Story Leaves a Light Behind

Rachel's light. Paris's joy. Love at the center.
