I am excited to share that I'll be joining Team Marisa’s Mission and running the 128th Boston Marathon in honor of Marisa Federico. Cancer has impacted the lives of all our loved ones, including my own family. Both my mother and father are cancer survivors, and from a young age I was able to learn how devastating this disease can be. Seeing the impact cancer has had on my family motivates me to do everything I can to ease someone else’s journey as they fight this disease. Marisa's Mission provides financial support of at least $10,000.00 to each patient/family battling cancer. I was first introduced to Marisa’s Mission through the Quincy Fire Department hockey team, when we collaborated on a cornhole tournament fundraiser to raise awareness and funds for families impacted by cancer. My involvement with participating in fundraisers and raising awareness has only become stronger which is why this year I feel honored to be running the Boston Marathon for this incredible organization that truly changes lives. Together we can ease the stress and financial burden these families are dealing with, so that they can focus on what matters most: their health and family.

Team Marisa’s Mission is proud to be apart of the 129th Boston Marathon! We have 5 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!
