Hello and thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I started running a little in 2006 with the express purpose of completing the Boston Marathon as a tribute to my late Grandpa Rufus Grason and to raise funds for one of his favorite causes, the Eaton-Peabody Lab.  This will be my fourth Boston with the same goal.

Why do I keep at it?

Grandpa Rufus - Those of you who knew him professionally knew the smart, soft spoken, warm, supportive, self made man.  He was that, and so much more to his family.  To say I miss him would be an understatement.  I am proud to carry on his legacy of supporting the Eaton-Peabody Laboratory.

Eaton-Peabody Laboratory - the Eaton-Peabody Laboratory is one of the world's largest basic research facilities dedicated to the study of hearing and deafness.  All of the funds I raise will support them in these research efforts.

How can you help?

This year I've set my fundraising target higher than in previous years, and I need your help to meet it.

Donate - Donating through this site is simple, fast and secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising effort.  If you would prefer to sponsor me by check please make it payable to The Foundation of MEEI and mail it to me at 55 Ames St., Medford, MA 02155

Words of Encouragement - There will be plenty of miles between now and April.  Your notes and words of encouragement help the miles pass easier.

Thank You

 I want to thank you in advance for your support, no matter if it is just words of encouragement or a large donation.  Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward a link to this page to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
