This Memorial Day weekend, I’m running the Boston Run to Remember in honor of the Massachusetts Fallen Heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice since September 11, 2001.
Working in law enforcement, I’ve seen firsthand what it means to serve something bigger than yourself. That same commitment is at the core of our military, where men and women put everything on the line to protect others, often making the ultimate sacrifice. That kind of service and sacrifice deserves to be remembered and honored.
I’m running with Team Mass Fallen Heroes, an organization that ensures those we’ve lost are never forgotten while supporting the families and veterans connected to that sacrifice.
Donations help:
• Support Gold Star families and families of fallen service members and first responders
• Maintain the Massachusetts Fallen Heroes Memorial in the Seaport
• Provide year-round events, scholarships, and support for families
• Help veterans build their next chapter through programs like InnoVets
This is about more than remembrance. It’s about standing behind the families and making sure that sacrifice is honored in a real, lasting way.
If you’re able to donate, it truly makes a difference.
Thank you for the support,
Lauren
Boston's Run To Remember
Massachusetts Fallen Heroes and InnoVets participate in the Run To Remember to raise awareness and vital funds for their programs supporting Gold Star families and Veterans. Runners, spectators, and community members come together on Memorial Day weekend to celebrate service, sacrifice, and resilience — bridging the military and first-responder communities through a shared expression of gratitude. Whether you're lacing up for the half-marathon, the 5-mile run, or joining as a supporter, this partnership embodies the spirit of Honor. Support. Empower. — ensuring that the sacrifices of fallen are never forgotten and that veterans and their families receive the opportunities and care they deserve. Join us in Boston for a meaningful run that remembers, honors, and builds a stronger future for our heroes.
At Massachusetts Fallen Heroes we memorialize our fallen and we provide programs and services for our Veteran and Gold Star Family community. Help us honor the memories of the Massachusetts men and women who served since September 11, 2001 and gave their lives for our nation. Founded in 2010 by combat veterans, Gold Star families, and first responders, MFH built the iconic Massachusetts Fallen Heroes Memorial in Boston’s Seaport District and has since expanded to deliver programs, events, and direct assistance to Gold Star families and veterans. InnoVets InnoVets is the veteran empowerment and business accelerator program that grew out of Massachusetts Fallen Heroes (and is now often presented as its flagship initiative and rebranded focus for veteran programming). Its mission centers on equipping veterans, Gold Star family entrepreneurs, and the military-connected community with the skills, mentorship, resources, and opportunities to thrive — particularly through entrepreneurship, career development, and innovation.
