The 115th Boston Marathon was the first opportunity in Travelers Aid Family Services' history to field a running team. We were awed and inspired by the tremendous effort put forth by our five team members. Bruce Liddell, Jay Hart, Meredith Wilson, Jennifer Wilson, and Wes Clapp combined to raise more than $27,000 to help support Travelers Aid Family Services' mission to end family homelessness in Boston! We look forward to building on this success next year. Check back with us in the fall if you are interested in joining next year's "Run To End Family Homelessness" team.

Thanks to his service, Travelers Aid has become one of the premier providers of social services to Boston’s homeless families. The event was highlighted as Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, who has worked with Mr. Ring since the 1980's on the issue of homelessness in Boston, spoke at length and with appreciation for Richard's 40 plus years of dedication to helping those who are less fortunate. Travelers Aid Family Services wishes Rich well in all of his future endeavors.
