Mashup Score: 6PROUD TO RUN THE 2024 BOSTON MARATHON TO SUPPORT THE ELLIE FUND! - 30 day(s) ago
Dear Family and Friends,I am thrilled to announce that on April 15th, I will be running my 11th consecutive Boston Marathon in support of the Ellie Fund, a non-profit organization that provides essential support for those receiving treatment for breast cancer in Massachusetts. This year I am thrilled to run the Boston Marathon in honor of a remarkable source of inspiration, Lynne Cao. Lynne’s journey began with a diagnosis of early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer in 2016. Her diagnosis occurred at a challenging time- she was in her 30s, with 2 young children, ages 3 and 5. Since 2017, Lynne has displayed extraordinary courage, as she has navigated multiple treatments for her brain metastasis, including neurosurgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Currently, Lynne is thriving as she continues to receive HER2-directed therapy.In the face of her illness, Lynne’s resilience and strength shine brightly. Her incredible spirit not only uplifts her husband Mike, her 2 children, sup

Mashup Score: 0I am raising funds for Joslin Diabetes Center - 1 month(s) ago
Hi! My name is Kyle Lundgren, and I am beyond excited to be running the 128th Boston Marathon® Presented by Bank of America to raise money for the Joslin Diabetes Center.In November of 2021, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 25. With no family history of diabetes or track record of personal health ailments, it was a huge shock to be diagnosed at such a young age.Fitness and athletics have both been something I have felt extremely passionate about for my entire life. From the time I could walk, sports and physical activity in general have always had such a large presence in my life. With hockey, lacrosse, and most recently running after college, I was fearful that my 2021 diagnosis would bring everything I knew to a grinding halt.My mother has run 4 marathons, and my father has run 6 marathons. To me, running a marathon always seemed like a “when” goal, not an “if” goal.To say that my outlook on personal goals has changed since my diagnosis would be an understatement, b

Mashup Score: 1Raising Funds for Beth Israel Lahey Health - 1 month(s) ago
When I entered Joslin Diabetes Center for the first time, I had four young children in tow following my eldest daughter Elle’s diagnosis with type one diabetes. I was in a fog of fear and I was terrified. How was I going to keep Elle safe? Would she be able to enjoy childhood? Could she continue performing and going to dance classes? Could I keep my job given the long commute? Would my three younger children, Annah, Caraline and William, face the same diagnosis? Would we ever sleep again? Is there any reason to hope for a cure?Joslin Diabetes Center has taken care of Elle for almost 16 years. And Joslin has taken care of our entire family from day one. From the Joslin Endocrinologists who treated Elle at Boston Children’s Hospital; to the Child Life Specialists who comforted and distracted Annah, Caraline and William through blood draws to screen for the risks of developing type one; to the Certified Diabetes Educators who were my lifeline as we navigated the highs and lows of diabetes
