I’m running Boston’s Run to Remember to honor the brave first responders and Massachusetts heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to others. As a firefighter, this cause hits close to home. Every day we put on the uniform knowing the risks, and we never forget those who gave everything for their communities, their brothers and sisters beside them, and their families back home.
This race is about more than miles. It’s about remembrance, sacrifice, brotherhood, and supporting the families left behind. Massachusetts Fallen Heroes continues to make a real impact through support for Gold Star families, veterans, mentorship programs, and preserving the memorials that keep these heroes’ legacies alive.
I’d be grateful for any support, whether through a donation, sharing this page, or simply keeping these heroes and their families in your prayers.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” — John 15:13
Thank you for helping me honor the fallen and support those they left behind.
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.
