WHY WE'RE DOING THIS
We lost our mom to a rare cancer on December 9, 2023. We want to honor her by raising as much money as we can for TargetCancer Foundation (TCF). We're doing this for our mom, our family, and our friends. We want to raise this money so the people we care about have more options, better treatments, and more hope.
This fundraiser is being run as part of another fundraiser for TargetCancer Foundation. If you'd like to make a donation or read more, please visit Joseph Brady's Boston Marathon Page [https://www.givengain.com/project/joseph-raising-funds-for-targetcancer-foundation-112881].
