Our freedoms didn't come for free. They were paid for in full by the ultimate sacrifice of Massachusetts' finest. It is time we honor that sacrifice. On September 12th, we aren't just running, walking, or rucking—we are making a statement. We are sending a message to the families of our Fallen Heroes that WE WILL NEVER FORGET. 🦅
⚔️ THE MISSION: The Massachusetts Run For The Fallen proudly stands as a beacon of enduring gratitude for our nation's fallen heroes and their Gold Star Families. As we gather to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the 9/11 Terror Attacks, we are expanding our reach to honor fallen Massachusetss Police, Fire, and EMS heroes - lost since 9/11 - who put it all on the line to keep our communities safe. 🚒🚓100% of your donations stay right here in the Bay State to fund critical grants for families of Fallen Heroes and the families of those who gave everything for our country. This is about real impact. This is about patriotism in action.
