Mark is running the marathon. Victor is running the marathon. I’m running the marathon.
In exactly one hundred and forty five days from today the oldest annual marathon will take place here in Boston. One of the world’s most prestigious road racing events. Twenty six point two miles (42 km) from Hopkington to Copley Square in Boston.
We joined the Children’s Hospital Boston – Miles for Miracles Program as a patient family for the first time in 2004 and since then we’ve teamed up with four runners to raise funds for Children’s Hospital Boston.

Mark is a cancer survivor and last year he ran his first marathon. He liked it so much that he’s doing it again. Back in April after finishing the race he told me that it was the best experience he’s ever had…. He invited me to run the Boston Marathon in 2007.
My brother Victor will run the marathon.

Victor is running because “Children’s Hospital Boston saved my nephews life”.
And I will run for the doctors, nurses and researchers that saved Andy’s life on multiple occasions. I will run for Six West, the stem cell transplant unit at Children’s Hospital Boston where Andy had the stem cell transplant two years ago. And I will run to thank the runners who ran in previous years for Andy.
Please help us give back to Children’s Hospital Boston.
