The Star and Paw Project

Honoring lives. Creating moments.

Every story leaves a light behind. The Star and Paw Project is dedicated to turning that light into action—helping families facing cancer find the joy, peace, and connection that cancer cannot steal.

Our Signature Initiative: Pawsitive Moments Moments Cancer Can’t Take Away.

We believe that in the middle of a cancer diagnosis, presence matters more than anything. Through Pawsitive Moments, we create experiences that go beyond the medical charts. We focus on the joy, the peace, and the connection—the memories that outlive the diagnosis.

Running for a Reason: Berlin Marathon 2026

Our founder, Mathew Riquier, is racing to turn remembrance into resources. Every mile of the 2026 Berlin Marathon is dedicated to honoring Rachel and Paris—and every dollar raised goes directly toward creating Pawsitive Moments for families in need.
