Despite the chilliest, windiest, rainiest, New England “spring” weather imaginable, all 21 of our runners crossed the Boston Marathon® finish line on Monday, April 20, culminating months of training and fundraising. The team was certainly well prepared for the elements, thanks in part to their training through the most brutal winter in Boston’s history!
Because of their collective grit, Team JAF raised more than $160,000 through the 2015 marathon – which directly allows the Foundation to provide more than 225 grants to help cancer patients and families with everyday expenses – including rent and mortgage payments, utility bills and more.
The Foundation had a blast cheering our runners on from the Team JAF Watch Party at Back Bay Social Club. Photos from the event – supported in part by New Balance, the John Hancock Non-Profit Program, CVS Health, Michelob ULTRA and RadioBDC – can be found on our Facebook page (see link below), along with shots of our runners coming down Boylston Street!
