In our “Why I’m Running” series, Boston Marathon runners share what’s inspiring them to make the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton to Boston.

Name: Matty Gregg
Age: 45
From: Nashua, N.H.

Five years ago, I ran the Boston Marathon course in the middle of July for the Firefighter Cancer Support Network as part of a larger 5,000+ mile run across America.

I am excited to finally, after a lifelong dream, be able to run this on behalf of Make-A-Wish Massachusetts/Rhode Island, an incredible organization with an even more incredible mission.
