FOXBORO, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — The TB12 Foundation, founded by seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, today announced the members of its Foundation’s Boston Marathon team. Since June, the 19-runner team has been raising funds to support the Foundation’s mission and preparing for race day.
With just over one month to go before this year’s October 11th Boston Marathon, the team has been training hard and raising awareness of the TB12 Foundation’s mission: to bring recovery and pliability education to those who need it most due to economic or health-related obstacles, so everyone can learn how to live pain-free and perform their best in both sports and life.
To date, the 2021 Marathon team has surpassed the $100,000 mark to support the TB12 Foundation’s programs.
As a thank-you from TB12, runners receive a full 18-week customized training plan created by certified coaches of the Road Runners’ Club of America with organized group runs throughout the season; online fundraising tools, TB12 treatment sessions (live or virtual), apparel including a TB12 race day singlet, TB12 products and a 20% discount on all TB12 Products (June-October).
“We are grateful for all our marathon team runners, past and present, who have dedicated their time, energy and fundraising efforts to support our mission,” noted TB12’s Executive Director Lisa Borges. “Their hard work enables us to reach many more deserving athletes who need that extra level of encouragement, training and support to reach their full potential.”
