The 128th running of the Boston Marathon will be on April 15th, 2024.

We are happy to announce we received our first 2 charity bibs for the Nick Strong Foundation.  We hope this is the first of many years that we will have a team of runners fundraising and carrying the Nick Strong Foundation name across the finish line.  This year, Jessica Gaspar and Tara Taccini will represent the Foundation, a deeply cherished honor for us.  Drawing strength from Nick, we’ll navigate the course together.  Additionally, Jen Gaspar and Jenn Pasquarosa will be running for the Boston Children’s Hospital, a charity close to our hearts.  This will be emotional yet rewarding knowing the 4 women in this race will do this together as one.  Together we will be NICK STRONG! 

Our team aims to raise $20,000 for the Nick Strong Foundation. Your support means a lot to us, and we invite you to contribute to our run, helping combat the challenges of cancer. No donation is too small; every amount makes a significant impact on many lives. Each step we take brings us closer to finding a cure and saving lives. In Nick’s journey, he inspired us by saying that sometimes life is hard, but that’s not an excuse to give up. He never once gave up, and neither will we. Join us in honoring his resilience.

Be Part of Jess’s Running Adventure & Influence Her Playlist!

With this sponsorship, you’re doing more than just supporting my marathon run; you’re also getting a chance to shape the beat of my journey.  Choose a song that will not only energize my stride but also pay tribute to a soul we miss dearly. 

Nick’s playful spirit and his love for bringing joy into our lives has left a lasting impression. To honor him and make this run even more meaningful, I invite you to select a song that Nick loved, one that you believe will inspire me, or one that Nick would have found amusing for me to hear while running.  Your choice will add a personal touch to my marathon playlist.

How it works: Once you have decided to sponsor my run at the “We Are Nick Strong Level”, I will send you an email with my name and a link to my Marathon Playlist. There, you can add your song. It’s a beautiful way for us to connect, celebrate Nick’s memory, and keep his spirit alive, step by step, mile by mile.
