I am excited to be running in the 125th Boston Marathon to raise money for Joe Andruzzi Foundation! 

The Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) is committed to providing help, hope, and a reason to smile, for New England cancer patients and their families by contributing financial support when it is needed most. The Foundation strives to keep families positive during their cancer treatment through our (Up)Beat opportunities. JAF believes that sometimes laughter can be the best medicine and aims to help families forget the burdens of treatment, if only for a day, through fun, laughter and good times.

During 2020, I watched a young family member and a close friend face cancer diagnoses with tremendous courage -- but I also witnessed firsthand the tremendous emotional burden it places on the patients and their entire family. The battle against this disease is too hard not to dedicate all your mental and emotional capacity. JAF gives patients and families a chance to do that, and everybody deserves that chance.

Thank you in advance for any support for this amazing organization!
