Lauren Runs Boston
The story of the run
After a four-year fight with ovarian cancer, my cousin Kim passed away this summer. She was 52, a loving wife and mom. On back-to-back days, I drove 16 hours from Philadelphia to Beverly, MA, for her funeral. Somewhere along those long, quiet miles, I felt a deep pull, a need to do something more. I want to carry her name forward in a way that reflects who she was: strong, full of light, and an absolute fighter. Within hours of getting home, I applied to join the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition’s Boston Marathon team. I was thrilled to be one of the eight runner chosen and I am deeply honored to run in her memory.
