In 2015, Team TargetCancer Foundation (Team TCF) received two invitational entries through the Boston Marathon’s non-profit charity program. Over the years, our team has continued to grow, fueled by our runners’ dedication and fundraising success. We are proud to announce that in 2026, our team has once again been selected as an Official Charity of the Boston Marathon®, and we will be represented by a team of twelve inspiring runners in 2026.

In addition to months of effort training for one of the world’s most elite marathons, members of our team simultaneously raise awareness about rare cancers in their local communities and fundraise to support our rare cancer research and advocacy programs. All funds raised by the team go directly to TCF and are put to work in real time to help patients, families, and researchers. We are grateful to the members of Team TCF and their communities for this incredible support.

Our sincere thanks to the Boston Athletic Association for providing TargetCancer Foundation with Boston Marathon bibs.

INTRODUCING…

Team TCF26 announcement3

Alex Adair, Joseph Brady, Colin Carey, Hannah Nguyen, Jarrod Liston, Jessica Miller, Josephine Ngong-Tawe, Joe Orlando, Caitlin Panciocco, Narek Tovmasyan, Zack DeLuca, and Zoe Schreiber will represent TargetCancer Foundation across the US and in the UK to support our rare cancer research and advocacy programs, while spreading awareness throughout their communities.

This year’s team was selected from over 150 applications – and the most competitive applicant pool in Team TCF history. Team TCF26 has set an ambitious fundraising goal to raise $175,000 before they cross the finish line on Boylston Street on April 20, 2026. Your support will be invaluable to them, and we encourage you to read their inspiring stories on our team campaign page to learn more about the motivation behind their Boston Marathon dreams.

 

Running has always brought me hope — I started running long distances after several years of losing close friends and family to cancer. I ran the Boston Marathon with Team TargetCancer to join them in turning hope into action by raising awareness and funding critical research for rare cancers.
