Our personal message:

 

Thanks for coming to my fundraising page. I am running the Boston Marathon and raising money for an organization that is dear to my heart, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. This marathon run will have direct impact on my family. As some of you know, my son Sean has a rare eye disorder. He is doing well, thank God, but we need to find a cure! 

The money raised will benefit Sean’s Doctor Elliot Berson; he works at Mass Eye & Ear Infirmary. There are only a few Doctors worldwide that have done research on Sean's rare disorder and Dr. Berson is one of them. We are very fortunate to have Dr. Elliot Berson as Sean's doctor. He is a brilliant man and has given us comfort and hope over the years. 
 
I know times are tough for everyone, but if you could make a donation I would greatly appreciate it.
 
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
 
Thank you in advance for your generous support.
 
Bob McGaughey
