Welcome to Team Cohen's fundraising home on the web.  We're a 30-something couple from Central MA who are ran our first marathon not just to get in shape, but also to do some good for a great cause.

The Boston Marathon was an amazing experience for us both, although injuries (Adam), stomach issues (Monica), and wind (everybody!) combined for a slightly longer day than expected.  We could not have done it without your support, but we still need your help to make our goal, and every little bit helps!

Why did we join Team Eye and Ear?  Here's a little more info:

Monica had sudden vision loss as a teenager caused by a degenerative cornea condition.  Her doctor at the time told her she would eventually lose her sight in one eye and would need a cornea transplant.  After moving to Massachusetts in 2001, Monica came to Mass. Eye and Ear to get a second opinion and transfer her care to our doctors.  Her doctors and the staff at Mass. Eye and Ear gave her hope, telling her that she would not necessarily lose her vision and that there were things she could do to help prevent it.  Monica explains, “Going to a world class institution and seeing the doctors who are really aware of and involved with cutting-edge research has made such a difference in the care I’ve received, and I want the opportunity to give back by raising funds to help continue that research.” 

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!
