My name is Rej and I recently moved to Boston from Canada to pursue a fellowship in regional anesthesia. Having run a few marathons already, I thought that while I am living here, it would be really important to run the Boston Marathon since it is such a historic race. So, I started to look at organizations with which to run. Luckily, I happened to mention this to my friend and colleague, Jeannie Carabuena and she mentioned the Matty Eappen Foundation. After reading more about it I thought that this was definitely the group I wanted to run for. I'm looking forward to competing in my first Boston Marathon and running for this foundation!
