Why I’m Running: ‘When the going gets tough, the tough get going’
Darsh Trivedi is running to raise funds for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
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: Darsh Trivedi
Age: 37
From: Hopkinton
I am running the Boston Marathon to support cancer patients and survivors. I lost my dad and grandfather to cancer.
As a Hopkinton resident, I’ve cheered thousands of runners for years. This year, I’m running to support a ten-year-old kid going through leukemia at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I have never run a marathon before and here I am deciding to run the toughest marathon in the world!
