"Thank you for your time and support."

The 15-40 Connection Boston Marathon runners are raising funds to support public outreach efforts. The more we can invest in informing 15 to 40-year-olds that cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death for this age group and the importance of being aware of your normal health and taking action if you notice a change - the more lives we can save.
