In 2007, our 248 runners fundraised close to $1.2 million, more than any other year! Whether you are a first-time marathoner or a running veteran, we invite you to join this extraordinary group of volunteers from all over the United States as we set our sights even higher for the 112th Boston Marathon® on April 21, 2008.

About Run for Research®

Nearly 30 million Americans are affected by over 100 types of liver disease, including hepatitis, liver cancer and biliary atresia. The Run for Research® team was created 19 years ago by runner Bobby Banks so that he could raise money for the son of then Boston Bruins Coach Terry O’Reilly. Terry’s son was born with liver disease. Bobby, and a handful of friends, garnered over $5,000 for the Reillys. Today more than 240 runners expect to raise over $1.2 in 2008, alone. Over $11 million in total has been donated to the American Liver Foundation from Run for Research® efforts. Run for Research® is a BAA-sanctioned charity.
