Monica Brum is Running Boston
Please support our Boston Marathon runner, Monica Brum, who is dedicating her run to raising critical funds for The Angel Fund.
The 2026 Boston Marathon is Monica's 2nd running of the Boston Marathon (2nd marathon overall and nine half marathons).
"Running the Boston Marathon allows me to run for those who can’t. ALS is a devastating disease that takes away something we often take for granted—the ability to move. As a runner and physical therapist, I see every day how powerful and essential movement is, which is why finding a cure is so deeply important to me. By fundraising for the Angel Fund for ALS Research, I’m proud to support an organization working tirelessly to advance research and bring hope to those affected. Every mile I run is for those who can’t, and every dollar raised brings us closer to a cure."
I am very excited to be fundraising for this incredible organization and hope you will support me by making a tax-deductible financial pledge.
