In My Running Shoes is running the 2024 Boston Marathon to support our mission to empower people with chronic diseases to be active, maintain control of their lives, and proactively manage their diseases.
We are focused on helping people with chronic diseases live their best lives and fill the gaps where there is little or no support from typical healthcare channels. We write grants to help people with chronic diseases who are determined to stay active but may need a little financial support to help access the equipment, training or rehabilitation they may need.
In My Running Shoes plans to use the fundraising proceeds from the Boston Marathon to provide financial grants to people with chronic illnesses who want to stay active and engaged in their communities. Funds raised through our Boston Marathon team will be allocated to our Keep Running campaign which will provide financial grants to those with chronic diseases whose activity is running. We can provide funding for AFOs, electrical stimulation aides for running/walking, racing wheelchairs, physical therapy and many other items.
