A tremendous milestone was reached at the conclusion of the 2021 Boston Marathon fundraising efforts. Benjamin and his running partners, Hugh, Reed, Taylor, and Eric surpassed a milestone none expected would arrive so soon. The quintet has raised over $254,000 dollars in support of the Miles for Miracles program!
And as the years pass, Benjamin is growing into a more mature advocate for the Hospital. No longer is the Hospital just a place to go when sick and to watch the Rube Goldberg machine when the appointments are over. Benjamin recognizes the suffering of others, the worry in parents’ eyes, and the happiness when kids and families are reunited at the main entrance for that long-awaited ride home.
As Benjamin's perspective on the world broadens, he sees the Hospital through the eyes of a caring, empathetic, young man. His desire to help the kids at Children's grows each year and with his determination, he hopes to be running the 2027 marathon with a patient partner of his own!
2022 marks the ninth year that Benjamin has been a patient partner for the Miles for Miracles program. This year brings with it familiar challenges, new faces, and the same determination of years past.
Benjamin welcomes new runners this year to his "team" - a quartet of runners from Granite Telecommunications. We're looking forward to continuing with his new partners, Connor, James, Wills, and Natalie.
Thank you all for your continued support!
