Reading Resident Seeking Donations In Support Of Boston Marathon Run For Team MR8

Team MR8 Boston 2017 Fundraising


Reading resident, Seema Lynch, is excited to be running the Boston Marathon on April 17, 2017 ‪for the Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation - a charity established in memory of eight-year old Martin Richard who died in the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013. Martin's message was simple, yet powerful: "No more hurting people. Peace." At a young age, Martin understood that while we are all different, we are all the same. There is no greater time than now for people from all backgrounds to come together, learn from and about each other, and find ways to live in peace.

As Seema prepares to run 26.2 miles, please support her in honoring Martin's memory and message by making a tax-deductible donation to the Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation, Inc., a charity focused on investing in education, athletics and community to help bring people together. https://www.crowdrise.com/MR8Boston2017/fundraiser/seemalynch
