Boston Marathon: We’re Back!

After a cancelled 2020 race and not being able to receive bibs in the years after, Wildflower was thrilled to receive 3 race bibs for the 2023 Boston Marathon. Our runners Kristen Weber, Norman Hansen, and Kristen O’Rourke helped raise over $20,000 for Wildflower, and we are incredibly grateful for their dedication to our mission in helping kids and families rediscover life after the loss of a parent.

Marathon Monday proved itself to be a challenging day for our runners, as it was chilly, windy, and rainy in typical Boston fashion. Wildflower staff and volunteers had a cheering section just after the 19 mile mark to help give our runners the boost they needed before heading up Heartbreak Hill.
