What Will Your Legacy Be?

The Martin Richard Foundation congratulates the MR8 runners who, through their six years of endurance fundraising, have created the endowment fund that fuels our work. Team MR8 will conclude its marathon participation in 2020 after the Boston, Chicago and New York City Marathons. Runners may continue to Run For More through our new, signature MR8K Race. Co-founded with the Boston Bruins Foundation and DMSE, the MR8K is the signature event of the Martin Richard Foundation with funds raised for a unique initiative or campaign each year.
