I?m so excited to share that I will be running the 130th Boston Marathon on April 20, 2026 in support of the Brigham and Women?s Stepping Strong Center! Since running Boston with Stepping Strong in 2021 and 2014, I could not be more excited to re-join this incredible team in fundraising and training for next year?s marathon. 

The Stepping Strong Center at Brigham and Women?s Hospital was borne out of the tragic events of April 15, 2013, when Boston and the Boston Marathon were forever changed on Marathon Monday with the senseless Boston Marathon bombings. Gillian Reny, then a high school senior, was one of the 39 critically injured patients rushed to the Brigham, where doctors and nurses saved her life and both of her legs. In gratitude to the Brigham, the Reny family established The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation to help other trauma patients like Gillian regain their strength and ability to step strong once again. 

I am so excited to further this cause?but I need your help. Please consider making a donation to Stepping Strong on my behalf (link in my bio). No matter the amount, it will help to write many more amazing stories like Gillian?s for civilian and military heroes who suffer devastating traumatic injuries. Since 2014, Stepping Strong has raised over $27 million from donations from people like you, and have supported incredible efforts in trauma innovation, prevention, and education.

As I run on April 20th from Hopkinton all the way to Copley Square, I promise to use your amazing support of Stepping Strong as the fuel that powers me all the way through the line. Thank you so much!!
