Fundraising Tip of the Week
As everyone gets ready for their New Year’s resolutions, think about hosting a workout class to help tackle your fundraising efforts! Nowadays, many cycling, yoga, and fitness instructors are willing to donate their time for a cause. Reach out to your favorite teacher or stop by a local studio and ask if they would host a charity class to benefit your run. It’s a great way to bring multiple networks together, raise funds, and build awareness about Stepping Strong.
Fundraising Check-In Calls
Our team is hosting fundraising check-in calls throughout the marathon season to support YOU! While not mandatory, these are a great chance to check-in with us and make sure you feel prepared for your marathon fundraising. CLICK HERE to sign up. Calls will start on Friday, January 17 and continue bi-weekly through Friday, April 4.
Saturday Training Run
Reminder that tomorrow’s run will be a six – ten mile run that starts at Joint Venture Physical Therapy (660 Beacon St. in Kenmore Square, Boston) at 8am. Doors will open at 7:30am and Caroline will be there, so make sure to introduce yourselves if you haven’t already! Please call/text Caroline at 617 763 4657 if you need any support Saturday morning.
As always, make sure you check out John’s website and his latest email for more information and to keep up to date on the training schedule. Make sure you are signed up to receive weekly email updates from Coach John, which are separate from our emails, to keep you informed, educated, and motivated for this season’s Boston Marathon training.

Don’t forget to submit your photos on the Runner Portal after the run!
Please submit your photos HERE! Stretching/preparing to run, training/running outside & inside, in your Stepping Strong gear, and selfies & “point-of-view” shots are encouraged!
Offline Donations
As we approach the end of the year, we kindly remind you that offline donations may take 4–6 weeks to appear on TeamRaiser fundraising pages. While you’re welcome to inquire about the status of a gift, we appreciate your patience as our team diligently works to process all donations and ensure they are reflected online. Thank you for your understanding and support!
From start to finish,
Ali, Ally, and Caroline
Withdrawal Deadline Reminder: If for some reason your plans have changed and you are no longer able to participate on this year’s team, please let us know by January 1, 2025, so we can withdraw you and fill your spot with a waitlisted runner.
