My name is Brenna Lorenzen and thanks to the sponsorship of Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union, I am proud to be running the 2025 Boston Marathon on behalf of Boston Children’s Hospital/Miles for Miracles and the Credit Unions Kids at Heart Team.
Running the Boston Marathon has always been a dream of mine. As I graduated college in May 2024 and closed out my athletic career, I felt more confident than ever that this was a challenge I wanted to take on. When the opportunity to run for CU Kids at Heart on behalf of Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union came along, I knew it was meant to be. As part of this Team, I am lucky to be paired with a Patient Partner, Maddy.
Starting my career in the nonprofit sector has shown me the powerful impact fundraising can have on people’s lives. Being part of the CU Kids at Heart team feels like the perfect next step in my journey to make a difference. Running in Maddy’s honor, connecting with her family, and being inspired by her strength makes this experience truly special. I know that with every mile, hill or cold run, it is nothing compared to the strength Maddy and her family show every day. I’m incredibly grateful to have her as both a patient partner and a new friend.
As an athlete, I’ve always valued the spirit of teamwork, and I’m thrilled to join forces with a community dedicated to making a difference. Thank you for supporting me on this journey as we work together toward a cause that is impactful in the mission to help children lead healthy and happy lives.
