Titus Foundation Boston Marathon
Boston Marathon 2026
Support Danny’s Boston Marathon Run – Give to Titus Foundation Today
My name is Danny Doherty and I am a proud Boston College alum and resident of Boston. Inspired by watching thousands of runners raising money for charity, dashing by Mile 21 each year, I was determined after my senior year to challenge myself to raise money for a great cause and conquer my inner demon (not wanting to run, ever).
That was four years ago, and I have since run ten marathons, including two Boston Marathons and two qualifying times, the New York Marathon, the Chicago Marathon and an ultramarathon. When I learned of the amazing work that the Titus Foundation engages in, running to support their efforts this year was a no-brainer. There is no better race or place to run then Boston, and doing so while being able to help give back in a small way to a cause that gives so much to the greater Boston community is the honor of a lifetime.
The 130th Boston Marathon will be a special one, and I hope that you can help out and support this amazing cause along with me! Let’s run fast, raise a lot and spread good all around!
