I am very excited to announce that I will officially be running the 2024 Boston Marathon!

Running the Boston Marathon has been a goal of mine for a long time now and this is the year that I will finally get a chance to do it. I can remember many trips into Boston in mid-April when I was growing up to watch my mom cross the finish line on Boylston street. Now I get to follow in her footsteps and hopefully complete the 26.2 mile trek from Hopkinton to Boston.

I am very fortunate to be running next year's Marathon on behalf of the Marisa's Mission Marathon Team. Marisa's Mission is an incredible organization that works to keep the spirit of their namesake, Marisa Federico, alive by alleviating the financial burdens and stress caused by cancer to patients and families throughout Massachusetts. The organization provides direct grants to families / patients in need of financial support while they are receiving cancer treatment, allowing them to focus on what matters most: health and family. If you'd like to learn more about Marisa's Mission, here is a link to their website: https://marisas-mission.org/

It is my goal to raise over $10,000 dollars for the Marisa's Mission organization to help support the many patients and families that are battling cancer throughout Massachusetts and I'll need your help to do it!

If you are able to support my fundraising efforts in any way, I would greatly appreciate it!! Any and all donations will go a long way. 

Thank you all in advance for your support and generosity! I hope to see many of you at the finish line on April 15th!!

Team Marisa’s Mission is proud to be apart of the 128th Boston Marathon! We have 10 runners committed to crossing the finish line and raising funds to help patients and families dealing with the devastating diagnosis of cancer.

At Marisa’s Mission, our goal is to keep the spirit of our namesake, Marisa Federico, alive by alleviating the financial burdens caused by cancer to patients and families through out Massachusetts. We provide hope, support, and the means to focus on what matters most: their health and well being as a family. Marisa’s Mission grants upwards of $10,000 per patient/family through four major programs: Home Assistance, Care, Travel/Lodging and Special Trips. We understand the turmoil caused by this disease and how it not only impacts the individual, but also extends its reach to the entire family. Since 2017, we have been fortunate enough to grant over 1 Million dollars worth of support to patients, families, and hospitals across Massachusetts. Your support not only facilitates our mission, but also amplifies the positive impact we can make! Learn more about Marisa and Marisa’s Mission at www.Marisas-Mission.org
