Kevin & John vs. Boston Marathon for DMSE
Donation protected
Introduction.
Hi! We are John and Kevin. We have been best friends since middle school, avid gamers (League of Legends and Starcraft lovers of course), entrepreneurs and business partners (Floating Point Group), and we are aspiring Boston marathon runners!
We believe degrading physical and mental health are some of the biggest issues of our generation and this year we are proud to partner with the DSME Foundation to help tackle this problem. We’re raising $20,000 for the foundation this year as part of our participation in the Boston Marathon- a lifelong dream for both of us and an incredible fundraising opportunity.
Why does the DSME Foundation’s work matter?
The DSME Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that supports non-profit programs that promote overall health in children and adults, from physical fitness to mental health. Recent donations from the Foundation have been to The Jimmy Fund, the Joseph Middlemiss Big Heart Foundation, GirlTrek, and Christmas in the City.
Since 2003, the foundation has helped high-impact charities accomplish amazing feats through funding:
1. Medical research for diseases such as cancer and cardiomyopathy.
2. Aid for childhood poverty
3. Physical fitness programs for children and teens
4. And many more efforts
Who are we?
This won’t be our first major undertaking together- we have backpacked for weeks in Costa Rica on a shoestring budget, launched backyard rockets as children, and now share a board room for company meetings.
Our dream is to run the Boston Marathon. It’s the ultimate goal after chasing fitness increasingly over the last decade (perhaps one of us more than the other, that's all I’ll say!). We strive to use our work to make the world a bit better, a bit brighter, and more joyful. When we learned about an opportunity to help raise funds for the DSME Foundation and be a part of the Boston Marathon we were ecstatic.
We need your help.
We’ve done the grueling training schedule, but we need your help to raise money for the DSME Foundation to empower their charitable efforts for high impact groups helping children, promoting physical fitness in youth, and bring more awareness to mental health.
Tell me more!
This isn’t our first rodeo! John ran a marathon a couple years back - but due to his last minute preparation, was unable to run for the entire race. It’s a lesson we took to heart. We’ve been training (see the track below) to make the Boston Marathon an unforgettable experience and notably, make it past Heartbreak Hill!
We have been running circuits up and down the Hudson! If you are in the area, please feel free to come join us!
Fund a mission that matters.
As we come to the close of the year, there’s a good chance you’re thinking about charitable giving. If you’re not, allow this to be a chance to take stock of how you’re doing and see if it’s in the cards.
We have both made significant donations to the DSME Foundation this year and we encourage you to join us.
