Hello friends and family,
I’ll be running in Boston’s Run to Remember to honor first responders and the Massachusetts Fallen Heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice since September 11, 2001. As a veteran and first responder, I hold this mission close to my heart- because those who gave the ultimate sacrafice deserve to be remembered and their families deserve to be supported.
I chose to join Team Mass Fallen Heroes because this cause combines two powerful missions I deeply believe in:
-Remembering and honoring the military service members and first responders from Massachusetts who gave everything.
-Supporting the families they left behind (Gold Star families)
-Helping veterans build bright futures through entrepreneurship, mentorship, and opportunity Massachusetts Fallen Heroes (and their flagship program InnoVets) turns remembrance into real, lasting impact:
-Maintaining the beautiful Massachusetts Fallen Heroes Memorial in the Seaport
-Providing year-round support, events, and scholarships for Veterans & Gold Star families
Every mile I run on Memorial Day weekend is dedicated to those we’ve lost and to the families and veterans who continue to carry their legacy forward. Your support means the world.
Even a small donation helps fund grief support, family gatherings, veteran mentorship, career training, and startup resources — all so no one who served or sacrificed is ever forgotten, and those still serving our communities can build stronger futures.
Thank you for reading my story.
Together, we run to remember.
Together, we honor. support. empower.
With gratitude,
Tim Wood
