Team TCF: Boston Marathon
Running against rare cancers
In 2015, two runners represented Team TargetCancer Foundation (Team TCF) in the Boston Marathon. Over the years, our team has continued to grow, fueled by our runners’ dedication and fundraising success. This year, we received 12 invitational entries through the 2027 Bank of America Boston Marathon® Official Charity Program.
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 bibs for the Boston Marathon.

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.
