MEET THE RUNNERS

I have dedicated running this marathon for my friend Augie Garbellotto, who was taken away too soon from cancer. My goal is to bring hope and encouragement to everyone battling this disease. Running for EMF is a privilege & an opportunity to honor my friend’s memory by doing what I love.

After working at EMF for 4+ years, I’ve seen the real impact we make. My biggest inspiration is my brother, Max, a young adult survivor who continues to motivate me. I’m proud to run in honor of him, in memory of my two grandmothers, and for everyone who has been touched by cancer.

Lauren Beimler
Expect Miracles Foundation

Cancer has impacted my life deeply; from my grandma, to my cousin, and beyond. EMF’s mission resonates with my personal story and professional life in finance. Working at the intersection of markets & philanthropy has shown me the power our industry has to drive meaningful change.

I’m running the 2026 Boston Marathon for Expect Miracles Foundation because I have lost multiple close family members to cancer and want to do something to beat it, whilst also completing my 6 stars!

Ian Bond

Running the Boston Marathon for Expect Miracles Foundation is my way of turning passion into purpose. Every step I take in the Boston Marathon is dedicated to the courageous individuals fighting cancer. Supporting EMF means believing in a brighter future for those in need.

Lidia Cirianni
Morgan Stanley

My grandpa fought & won his battle with cancer, and seeing how advances in research can change someone’s future is something I will never forget. Supporting EMF allows me to honor his journey while helping drive the breakthroughs that give families more time, more options, & more hope, like mine.

Sarah Collier
Datadog

No charitable organization has inspired me more than EMF, driven by my peers in the financial services industry. As cancer impacts nearly everyone, I wanted to follow the lead of my peers. I’m running in memory of a close friend who coached my son in soccer for years, even during the year he lost his battle with cancer.

Jeff Dickin
Manulife John Hancock

I’m honored to run Boston with EMF. They do amazing work and have an incredible mission. We’ve all been touched by cancer in some way, my stories are not unique. I have lost several family members & good friends to cancer while others are on a journey back to clean health. The selfless work done by EMF will hopefully put an end to all stories someday.

Scott Kilgallen
Neuberger Berman

My mom & grandmother are both cancer survivors. Growing up, I watched their courage, resilience, & unwavering hope; those memories guide me through every mile I train. I’m running for them, for everyone who’s fighting a battle that isn’t visible, and for those we’ve lost along the way, whose strength & stories continue to inspire me.

Christopher MacDonald Jr.
SS&C

I’m running Boston in memory of my lovely mum, Vicki, and to support the vital research & SAMFund grant program through EMF. It will be my 14th marathon and the race that completes my journey to the 6 Star finish. Every mile is for mum and for others facing cancer. Let’s do this!

Simon Rosenblatt

My personal ethos revolves around the question, “What good is there to be done?” This inspires me to seek out opportunities to contribute positively to the lives of others. By lending my efforts to EMF, I aim to raise awareness & funds for cancer research, and to support those affected by this disease.

Dan Salogub

Supporting cancer patients and survivors has been a defining part of my life, deepened by my mom’s breast cancer diagnosis. Running the Boston Marathon for EMF allows me to channel my passion for distance running into advocacy, service, and long-term impact for patients & survivors.
