THE STORY:
I'm running the Boston Marathon to raise money for March of Dimes research into the cause and prevention of birth defects and prematurity in babies.
The March of Dimes provides grants to researchers, with the goal of understanding the causes of birth defects and developing new ways to prevent and treat them. Currently, about 70 percent of the causes of birth defects are unknown.
This fundraiser is in memory of Gavrilo.
