Please consider supporting my participation in the 9th Annual BFit Challenge powered by National Grid where 100% of the money fundraised goes towards first responder and military charities! I have chosen to support the Martin Richard Foundation. This foundation honors Martin’s message of "No More Hurting People, Peace" by investing in grassroots community programs that broaden horizons for young people and encourage them to engage in positive civic action. Since 2014, the Foundation has worked to advance Martin’s values of sportsmanship, inclusion, kindness & peace by investing in programs that encourage young people to celebrate diversity and engage as community leaders. Martin Richard was one of three people killed in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. The Boston Marathon is an event that is near and dear to my heart, so I have chosen to support the Martin Richard Foundation as I support and value the principles of his foundation.

 Thank you.
