MATT WAYNE
Matt resides in Los Angeles, CA and is excited to raise money for Miami SCORES and celebrate his daughter Anna’s birthday the same week as the Miami Marathon. Matt is an entrepreneur, investor and global health documentary film director and producer. Matt loves what he calls “racing to give” and has competed in numerous Ironman races, the NYC and Boston marathons and the Empire State Building run up all while raising money for causes he is passionate about supporting. Matt is honored to run to raise money for Miami SCORES for the great work they are doing to support whole child development through soccer (he is a fan of David Beckham), the creativity of poetry (he loves Langston Hughes), and service learning (because he believes in the transformative power of giving for one’s soul and community).
DR. MATTHEW WEBER
Matthew is raising money for Miami SCORES to help kids in his Miami community be more active and creative through soccer and poetry. As a Family Medicine physician in Coconut Grove, he loves to promote a healthy lifestyle for his patients. He believes it is critical for children to have good mentorship, active role models, and healthy relationships for good health. Matthew's goal is for more children to have better access to education, movement, and creative expression in their daily lives.
VIVIANA CASTANO
Viviana is an enthusiastic runner from Rhode Island who is passionate about making a difference in her community through fitness. Balancing her love for running with her commitment to helping others fuels her drive to promote positive change and run for Miami SCORES. She finds that supporting a nonprofit, which empowers youth through soccer and education, to be incredibly rewarding. Viviana believes that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. She runs for Miami SCORES not only helps raise funds for our cause, but also to inspire others to get involved and contribute to the SCORES mission.
FERNANDO HERNANDEZ
Fernando Hernandez is a Salvadorian-American who has been living in Miami for over 17 years. He is very excited to run for Miami SCORES because, as he is from El Salvador, he understands what it is like to be within an environment that doesn't necessarily support self-expression & creativity. He resonates with how Miami SCORES uses the game he loves to empower youth to express themselves and build character. To Fernando, soccer and poetry are two tools that have the potential to positively transform kids' lives. He's honored to be part of the 2025 Miami SCORES Marathon Team!
ANNA WAYNE
Anna Wayne is a University of Miami freshman studying Latin American Studies, and she's currently on the Pre-Medical track. She has been running all throughout middle and high school and really enjoys the sport. Anna is absolutely thrilled to run for the 2025 Miami SCORES Marathon team and complete her first marathon!
