Support NRHS Grad Ali Pepe and Her Marathon Run
Event Saturday night in Danvers but you don't have to be there to support her.

North Reading High School graduate Ali Pepe and her sister Amy will be holding a fundraising event for their Boston Marathon run Saturday at BreakAway in Danvers. Ali and Amy are running the 122nd Marathon for the Joe Andruzzi Foundation. The sisters have been touched by cancer, including the death of their aunt Gina last November.
“There are so many incredible qualities that describe our Team JAF ambassadors,” said Jen Andruzzi, Co-Founder and Executive Director of JAF. “Our runners, like Ali, are dedicated, courageous, and positive, and these qualities are what make us proud that she has chosen to run the Boston Marathon in support of our foundation. All of Team JAF’s fundraising efforts will go to helping cancer patients and their families in need and we are so fortunate to have them as supporters of our mission.”
Ali hopes to honor her family members and make an impact by reaching her fundraising goal of $10,000. To help Ali reach her goal, visit her fundraising page here.
