Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology Held 13th Annual Lucero Memorial 5K Run/Walk in Newton
MSPP remembered a graduate who passed away during the 2002 Boston Marathon

Family of the late Dr. Cynthia Lucero joined in the 13th Annual Lucero Memorial 5K Run/Walk on Sept. 14 in Newton, Mass. Dr. Cynthia Lucero was a much-loved, community-oriented Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology graduate from Ecuador who completed her doctoral degree days before the start of the 2002 Boston Marathon, during which she collapsed and died. The Lucero Mental Health Program at MSPP was created to carry on her legacy of commitment to Latinos and many other underserved communities. The race raised a total of $4,000, which will be used to provide scholarships and resources to allow students to engage in training to address mental health disparities.
