I’m honored to be running the Boston Marathon for the Matty Eappen foundation to help raise funds to support victims of shaken baby syndrome and their families. As a physician in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, I have seen first hand how devastating child abuse is to the child and their families. These injuries are completely preventable through education provided by foundations such as The Matty Eappen Foundation.
Completing the Boston Marathon will also complete my goal of running all six of the World Major Marathons. The ability to complete this goal while also raising money for a charity that I care deeply about makes it even more rewarding. Please consider making a donation to this foundation to help protect the children in our communities.
