Boston Marathon 2008

Shawn McGowan's Fundraising Page

4/21 - Marathon day was a success!!!  Amazing experience for all of us.  We are very appreciative of all the support for Jack and the fight for CF.  Thank you for making it a great day!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2/19 - Okay, we have been amazed by the response and generosity that we have received so far. With that being said,  we are increasing our goal!   We are overwhelmed by how much everyone cares for Jack, our family and our hope for a cure!  Thank you!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am running the 2008 Boston Marathon on the MassGeneral Cystic Fibrosis Marathon Team for Jack, my best pal.

Jack just turned 7 and is in 1st grade.  He is doing fantastic and staying healthy, although he seems to be growing too fast!!  He loves his little brother Owen, Webkinz, karate, biking, skiing and Legos. 

He'd also love a cure for CF.  In his own words,  he'd like to "take one pill that will make it so I don't have to take any other medicine...ever!!" 

I'd like to be part of making that happen for him.  I hope you do too.

 Our team is raising money to support patient care in the Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis Clinic at MGH. Donating through this site is simple, fast, totally secure and it is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts.

Jack, Kelly, Owen and I thank you for your support!!!
