MR8 team captain Henry Richard is sharing a message ahead of the Boston Marathon on Monday and asking for donations to the Martin Richard Foundation.
Henry Richard has been with the Martin Richard Foundation since it was created in 2014. He first volunteered as a buddy in the challenger sports program and now serves as a president of the Martin Richard Foundation Youth Board, which led and participated in various community service events around Boston.
This year’s team captain for the MR8 Marathon Team is no other than Henry Richard. Henry ran his first Boston Marathon last year.
“The one thing I never did was run on the Team MR8 marathon team. I ran the Marathon this past year in honor of my brother and family, and it was an extraordinary moment. “This year is the 10th anniversary of the 2013 Boston Bombing attack that resulted in the deaths of my brother Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell, Lingzi Lu, and Sean Collier. To me, it only felt right for TeamMR8 to return to the Boston Marathon course after a year of absence as a tribute to this.” Henry Richard wrote in a Facebook post.
Henry is asking for help in collecting more donations.
“We have put together a fantastic team this year, and I am so excited to run with them and spread the Martin Richard Foundations’ message.”
