More Miles For Lingzi: 2024 La Jolla and AFC Half Marathons!

Hello family and friends! I will be running The La Jolla Half Marathon on Saturday, May 18th and The AFC Half Marathon on Sunday, August 18th. I have decided to complete some additional fundraising for The Lingzi Foundation at these races. Over the last seven years, we have raised around $50k+ together in support of Team Lingzi; to say that I am incredibly grateful for the amazing support on this continued journey is a huge understatement.

About The Lingzi Foundation

The Lingzi Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established by the family of Lingzi Lu, after she lost her life in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing attack. Based in Boston, the Foundation aims to preserve and perpetuate Lingzi’s life example through charitable actions and community building.

Your donations help support multiple community partnerships between The Lingzi Foundation and organizations/ initiatives such as: our "Teach Me To Fish" series, Soccer Without Borders, Edesia Nutrition, Read Boston, Stop Soldier Suicide and our own Lingzi Dream Dash 5k run/walk.

My Motivation

As a native Bostonian and avid runner, the Boston Marathon has always had a special place in my heart. The 2013 marathon bombings hit close to home, and after learning about the tragic loss of Lingzi, I wanted to do my part to help honor her life and memory. I am excited to have this opportunity to run another 13.1 miles in her name.

THANK YOU to Lingzi's family for placing their trust/ faith in me to take on this mission - it is not something I take lightly. And thank you, to each and every one of my donors. I may be running the miles, but YOUR generosity has supported multiple partnerships that have had a positive impact within our community - all in loving memory of Lingzi.

Alright La Jolla and AFC, let's do this!
