Rare Disease Day

What a beautiful day in Boston yesterday for the @bostonmarathon!

All of us at Next Step want to send a huge thank you to our 2024 Boston Marathon team - Chase Carpenter, Tommy Bannan, Sean Foley, Valerie Degrez, and Josepth Mueller.

All five runners conquered the 26.2 miles on a really warm day. Not only did they cross the finish line with smiles, they raised a Team Next Step record $66,746(!) to help fund our community, music and mentorship programs for seriously ill young people.

We are so grateful to partner with these five amazing people who volunteered their time to train for one of the toughest marathons while raising critical funds that will help us welcome more young people into the Next Step community at no cost to them or their family.

A special thank you to the @bankofamerica charity marathon program for inviting us to participate in this year`s marathon.

Thank you and congratulations, Team Next Step!
