The Heartsongs Luncheon Fund was established as a tribute to Mattie J.T. Stepanek, a child poet, peacemaker, and inspiration to us all. Mattie was a long-time patient of Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. before he lost his battle with a rare form of muscular dystrophy in June 2004. Monies raised by Heartsongs benefit Children's Hospital. For more infomation, contact us at info@heartsongs.org
