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: Eryn Mahoney
Age: 32
From: Manchester, N.H.

I’ve had first hand experience with the Pediatric Hematology & Oncology Team at MGH when they saved my life 13 years ago after being diagnosed with Lemierre syndrome. They are my drive to give back so they can continue to uplift, drive innovative research and provide hope to patients and their families.
