Team TCF: Boston Marathon

Running against rare cancers

CONGRATULATIONS TEAM TCF25 ON AN INCREDIBLE DAY AT THE 129TH BOSTON MARATHON!

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 2025, our team has once again been selected as an Official Charity of the Boston Marathon®, and we have received two additional invitations entries, to bring our team size to 12!

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.

Team TargetCancer Foundation 2025

Congratulations Brendan Carey, Anna Clark, Cody Cotner, Matthew Hazard, Regan Herald, Spencer Lindsay, Madison Livermore, Amanda Melillo, Iesha Pankey, Danielle Spence, Piumrug Supasap, and Marcel Thompkins for completing the 129th Boston Marathon® presented by Bank of America!

Selected from the most competitive applicant pool we have ever received, Team TCF25 was comprised of twelve incredible individuals. We were pleased to welcome back two Team TCF alumni, who helped guide their teammates as they both tackled the Boston Marathon for the second time. The team included runners whose final sprint down Boylston Street marked the completion of their first ever marathon; two members whose finish earned them their Abbott Majors Sixth Star Medal; and a teammate who completed Boston as marathon number 34! We were proud to be represented by one of NYFD’s finest, a Navy JAG officer, a physician, and an NIH researcher, in addition to graduate students and other esteemed professionals.

All of our runners had inspiring stories fueling their Boston Marathon dream, and we encourage you to learn more about them by visiting their personal pages through our team’s marathon campaign website.

This year’s team exceeded their ambitious goal to raise $125,000, and finished their campaign at $145,045! This brings our all-time cumulative team fundraising total for the Boston Marathon past $800,000! We are grateful for all of their hard work and proud of their achievements!

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.
