Thank You to Our 2026 Boston Marathon Team

The Home’s 2026 runners inspired us all, training through a particularly snowy winter, advocating across their communities for our mission and setting a new team fundraising record at The Home.

Together, our runners collectively raised an impressive $150,000 to support programs across our organization!
