"Running my hometown marathon in memory of my cousin was a gift, not just for me, but my entire family. It has been, and I am sure it will remain, one of the highlights of my life." - Samaritans 2015 Boston Marathon team member
Meet the Samaritans 2019 Boston Marathon team (pt. 4)
With just three days until the 2019 Boston Marathon, we are ecstatic to announce that our team has surpassed $200,000 raised for our organization! The dedicated runners on this team are loss survivors, volunteers, and folks who have benefited from our programs and services. In our final highlight before the Marathon, we'd like to introduce you to Diana and Mo, who share how they're preparing for the big day.
Thank you FitzPatrick Insurance Solutions, Major Sponsor of the 2019 Samaritans Boston Marathon team, for your support!
Happy National Volunteer Week!
Our services would not be possible without all of our dedicated volunteers. While they may not share any particular prior experience or training, our volunteers share a
desire to support those in pain. We are so thankful for all of the time and energy they dedicate to being compassionate
when others may need it most.
