“In 2015 I had my marathon shirt printed with the words HEROIN SUCKS across the front and ran from Hopkinton to Boston with cheers from the crowd and even a few hugs from strangers. I am running the 2016 Boston Marathon to raise awareness and money for the Gavin Foundation. This time my shirt will say “HEROIN STILL SUCKS” and I hope to run every year I can and help give back to the foundation that has helped my son and family in so many ways.”

“This July will mark 10 years since we lost our brother Carlie to addiction. Feeling at a loss and not wanting to see others suffer as our family had, we decided to raise awareness for this terrible epidemic. So here we go… getting ready to run the Boston Marathon AGAIN for a cause that is so important to us! Gavin Foundation’s Cushing House program is instrumental in the recovery of both youth and adults struggling with addiction. We hope to raise funds so they can continue saving and improving lives! We are so grateful for those who have supported us throughout all these years. Words cannot express how blessed we feel and we know Carlie is looking down feeling proud.”
