THE BOSTON MARATHON

The Boston Marathon is one of the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation’s key annual fundraisers.  We have been a member of The John Hancock Non Profit Program since our inception in 2013.  Last year we fielded a team of 4 runners.  All raised funds for the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation and the team totalled over $85K.  

Our 2020 Team GDMF goal is to raise over $85,000!

To Donate to our team see our fundraising site.  Thank you for your support!
