It is an honor to be running the 2023 Boston Marathon with the Boston Local 718 Firefighter and Family Cancer Foundation. After seeing how greatly supportive and dedicated the foundation is, it really made me want to do something to give back. I’m running to support this foundation’s firefighters, their families, and my friend Mat Troy (Boston firefighter, E10) as he battles Cholangiocarcinoma.

One of the best things about the Marine Corps was the Camaraderie that developed between fellow marines. After being discharged I found those same qualities when I became a Boston Firefighter. When a fellow firefighter needs help whether it be at work or at home the other members never hesitate to lend a hand. After seeing so many guys I’ve worked with get sick due to occupational cancers I want to do everything I can to help raise awareness and money to assist them during such a difficult time It’s because of this I feel privileged to be running the 127th Boston Marathon on behalf the Boston Local 718 Firefighter & Family Cancer Foundation.

Running the 2022 Boston Marathon was an experience I will never forget. As a first time runner, I was fortunate and honored to run on behalf of the Boston Local 718 Firefighter and Family Cancer Foundation. Having been a part of this organization from its inception and seeing it grow exponentially in such a short time-frame is extraordinary to say the least. This organization is here to relinquish some of the burden that cancer has imposed on the members of Local 718 and their families who have been diagnosed with this horrible disease. I’m proud to be part of a foundation that prides itself on serving those who serve our city and am honored to run the 2023 Boston Marathon again on behalf of this organization.

I am fundraising to help ease the stress that plagues patients and their families from the time of their cancer diagnosis, through their treatment. Funds raised go directly towards financial supports, meal plans, mentorships and much more.
I have seen first hand, day-to-day challenges that a cancer diagnosis present for a patient and their family and I hope through fundraising, to ease that burden.

Team Ranahan
In the City of Boston when a person picks up the phone to call for help the fire department will always show up to help; as firefighters we feel like we can always do what it takes to make a bad situation better for the person in need. Unfortunately when it’s one of us that needs help after a cancer diagnosis the firefighter’s friends and family feel helpless. I was in this situation in 2020 when my younger brother Dan was diagnosed with occupational cancer. Many of us felt like there was nothing we could do. After a tremendous amount of work by Dan Ranahan and others The Boston Local 718 Firefighter & Family Cancer Foundation was founded in 2021 aiming to provide funding to support firefighters and their families impacted by a cancer diagnosis. I was honored to be selected to participate in the 127th running of the Boston Marathon representing such a remarkable organization.
