Recognizing the importance of running and wellness –physical, mental, social, emotional and ethical - in my own recovery is what ultimately led me to found the Boston Bulldogs Running Club in an effort to create the same opportunities for others to achieve wellness and recover from addiction. The Boston Bulldogs guiding principles of self-leadership, transparency, and giving back – as well as the underlying values of compassion and community - are guiding the Bulldogs on the road to recovery and wellness - and saving lives.

As the Bulldogs grow in number and in impact, we are strengthening and expanding our programs and our reach. Over the past year alone amidst the challenges presented by the pandemic and an increasing substance use crisis, Club members have supported each other through weekly runs and walks, meditation sessions, wellness classes, coaching and mentoring. Bulldogs set and achieved wellness goals via our signature Full Circle Program. The Junior Bulldogs program partnered with Road to the Right Path and The Italian Home for Children to increase awareness and promote wellness among at-risk youth. The Giving Back Program recently supplied warm clothing to Father Bill’s in Quincy and Dorchester for homeless people. The Bulldogs have provided social connection and comfort to those in recovery, as well as to friends, families and caregivers, many of whom who have lost loved ones and struggled with the stigma of addiction.

Even as we celebrate our accomplishments, we recognize there is dramatically growing need to support those affected by addiction. We are incredibly grateful for your ongoing support of the Bulldogs as we make a difference in the lives of hundreds of members in our community on the road to sobriety, recovery, and wellness. Your connection and contribution to the Boston Bulldogs is critical to these efforts! If you’ve already made a donation this year, thank you so much for your support!
