I'm running my first marathon to raise money for ACCESS in support of removing financial barriers to students reaching their potential!

  •  

ACCESS works to ensure that all young people have the financial information and resources necessary to find an affordable path to - and through - a postsecondary education. To accomplish this mission, ACCESS provides free financial aid advice and advocacy to all the students of Boston and Springfield to help them overcome the financial barriers to higher education. Our programs work with students and their families from middle school to high school through college graduation, ensuring that finances never get in the way of potential. ACCESS has helped students secure more than $150 million in financial aid in the last three years alone and has awarded more than $5 million in need-based last dollar scholarships since their founding, maintaining a 75% college graduation rate for the students they serve.

    Yesterday my oldest son came up to me, handed me $10, and said, "Mommy, I'm so proud of you for training so hard and running this marathon. I want to donate too!" Sheesh, now I really can't back out.

    Eugene, I am definitely going to wait on that story! Lindsay, thank you so much. Jess and Russ, you are welcome to carbo load with me anytime; Friday nights are big here because I'm half-marathoning or more every Saturday until race day. Kevin and Beth, couldn't have done it without the better half of you!
