SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL ATHLETES
Dave McGillivray
Finish Strong Foundation On April 18th, I will be running my 50th consecutive Boston Marathon. It will also mark the 35th time running it at night after my race director duties are over that day and all the other runners have finished. Over 20 friends who have run with me in the past will be joining me again this time. Additionally, many celebrity runners and VIP’s will be joining in on the final mile from Kenmore Square to the finish line on Boylston Street. This time I will be raising money for my own newly launched foundation, the Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation. We are changing the name from the DMSE Foundation to this. The Foundation inspires and empowers youth across New England and beyond to increase physical activity, expand literacy and build community and self-esteem through running, reading, and performing acts of kindness. A major portion of this money will be used to purchase “running blades” for young children with prosthetics so that they, too, will be able to run. Funds will also be used for athletic scholarships so older kids can attend college and pursue their athletic running careers. Funds will also be use to purchase children’s books to be donate to local elementary schools. Any donation, large or small, is appreciated!! I’ve always believed that all my accomplishments were achieved as a result of being given a chance and that is exactly what I want to give other kids who have a passion for sports and in particular with running so they, too, can one day “finish strong.” Please click on this link or copy it and paste it into your browser to be connected to the fundraising page. https://www.givengain.com/cause/62379/campaigns/23790/ Thank you so much for your consideration. I very much appreciate it. Dave McGillivray Dave McGillivray Finish Strong Foundation, Inc.

Boston Marathon 2022 American Foundation for Suicide Prevention I couldn't be more proud to be taking on the 126th Boston Marathon to support American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. As someone who lives with depression, I've been a member of the "AFSP family" for more than 25 years as a volunteer, fundraiser and donor. AFSP is an incredible organization that brings hope to those impacted by suicide. If you can, please consider a donation to my efforts. I'll be thinking about you with every step of my run, and you'll be helping to save lives, and improve so many more. In gratitude, David

Boston Marathon 2022 Boston Childrens Hospital Support my Miles for Miracles Team Boston FundraiserI'm beyond delighted to join the Miles for Miracles team for the third time. It's a privilege and honor to extend my work with physicians, researchers and families by running in support of Boston Children's. In the last 8+ years, I have been constantly blown away by the unstoppable ingenuity, all-in commitment and heartfelt generosity that make up the hospital's DNA. I'm equally humbled by our patient families who are brave beyond measure as they face some of the toughest challenges one can imagine. I'm thrilled to be running with David as my patient partner. Joe and Natalie's son has been a Boston Children's patient since he was born and received a life-saving liver transplant last summer. David has a sweet, toothy grin and likes to show off his mischievous side by extracting his feeding tube on a regular basis. :) Support kids like David and Boston Children's outstanding care team! Please make a gift today. |

Washington, DC Boston Marathon 2022 American Foundation of Suicide Prevention I ask for your help to support my efforts to raise funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). I'm training to toe the line at the 2022 Boston Marathon and have joined a dedicated team of volunteers supporting the valuable services AFSP provides. As a safety professional, I know that workplaces can play an important role in this mission by raising awareness, sharing prevention strategies, and reducing the number of deaths each year. Workplace suicides have also risen over the last two decades and claimed 304 workers in 2019. Whether the attempt of suicide or death occurs at the facility or outside of the workplace, the death of a worker– or a friend or family member of a worker – has an enormous impact on an organization’s operations, not to mention the impacts it can have on a community. 
Jen Fusco
Taunton, MA Boston Marathon 2022 American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Hi! I need your help. I'm taking part in 126th Boston Marathon to raise money for American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, in memory of my brother Teddy Fusco, Jr. Together with my parents, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue sharing Teddy's kindness and to again be a part of Team AFSP. To be able to run this race in a city that meant so much to Teddy fills my heart. Just as he did in 2021, I know he will be running beside me each step of the way. Throughout the next few months - and from Hopkinton to Boston - I hope to give a voice to other suicide loss survivors, raise awareness for the lifesaving work of AFSP, and help even one person reach out for help and to feel less isolated. If you can, please consider donating to support AFSP's mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. |
Rachael Tobio Waltham, MA 2022 Boston Marathon Dana-Farber Conquer cancer with the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge! I'm so honored and excited to have been selected to run for Dana-Farber! Every single one of us has been affected by cancer in some way. In 2022, hundreds of Dana-Farber runners will take to the streets to participate in the 126th Boston Marathon®. The Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team runs and raises funds with thousands of special people in mind. From Hopkinton to Boston, we carry thoughts of those people every step of the way. One hundred percent of every dollar raised by the DFMC team supports the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. These funds are fueling some of today's most promising basic cancer research. Thank you for your support! Together, we're headed toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.

David Larrabee Bike to the Beach Autism Ride September 17, 2022 WHY I BIKE TO THE BEACH? As many of you know, my son Oliver is on the spectrum. That diagnosis gave me something to strive for when I first started running later in life. I ran my first half marathon for OAR, and then the year after I ran a full marathon for the same organization. I started to get interested in triathlons which never really stuck - but found the most joy in cycling. Leaning on that I decided to look into organizations I could fundraise and challenge myself specifically in cycling in 2018. Here we are now in 2022, and this will be my 5th consecutive year participating in Bike to the Beach. Please consider making a donation and helping me reach my goal, or if you are up for the challenge - I'd love to have some familiar faces riding along side of me this year! I am biking in the Bike to the Beach for autism charity ride to make a difference in the lives of the 1 in 68 children diagnosed with autism. Autism is the 2nd most prevalent developmental disorder in the world, but receives less federal funding than any other disorder affecting children. These numbers are staggering. Fundraising dollars for Bike to the Beach are not just direct monetary donations, but an effort by Bike to the Beach to impact the community through local programs for children, families, and those affected by autism. By supporting iCan Bike programs, summer camps, and adult learning programs, Bike to the Beach’s provides opportunities for people with autism that make a difference. |

One Mission
Hi, my name is Mike, welcome to my fundraising page.
On April 22nd I will be running the 126th Boston Marathon for One Mission and I need your help!
Running has truly changed my life for the better, so I wanted to pay it forward. I started this running journey of mine around a year ago and it has brought me here, somewhere I never imagined I would be. If I can run the marathon and raise some money along the way for pediatric cancer, then sign me up.
One Mission's motto is "whatever it takes to get kids through cancer" and in order to do that, they depend on fundraising. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
