Thank you to our incredible community who joined us on Sunday, June 22, to support the Brigham at the Boston 10K. Together we raised $350,000 to support 64 areas of our hospital—a remarkable display of dedication and generosity.

The 2026 Boston 10K will take place next June. If you are interested in running with our team, please fill out the form below to receive updates. All fitness levels are welcome.

We run to give back and support those in need of NICU care in the way we were cared for, held, and carried through our experience.”

What We Support

Our teams do the 10K for healthy hearts, healthy minds, healthy babies, and healthy communities.

We run to cure cancer and other diseases that impact the lives of the people we love. And we run to help patients everywhere get better access to high-quality healthcare.

Heather Bliss, Team Captain, PJL3

For the second year in a row, Heather Bliss and her twin sister, Sammie McLaughlin, ran the Boston 10K in honor of their brother, Peter Lynch, who underwent a heart transplant at the Brigham last year. Grateful for the lifesaving care their brother received, the sisters and their team, PJL3, raised funds for cardiac research and care.

“The Brigham care team not only treated my brother as a patient but our family as a whole,” Bliss says. “Peter would say, ‘These are strangers who didn’t have to sit next to me and hold my hand. But they did.’ They became more than nurses and doctors; they became friends and family.”

Brian Pedersen, Team Captain, Long Strides for Longer Lives

Brian Pedersen, a clinical research assistant at the Brigham, ran the Boston 10K for the second time in honor of his mother, Sarah, who passed away in 2022 after a 2.5-year-long battle with stage 4 ovarian cancer. Brian’s connection with the Brigham runs deep. Not only is he an employee, but his mother worked at the Brigham for many years and was treated at the hospital.

“Detection is absolutely key,” says Pedersen. “It will be a huge breakthrough to find a way to detect ovarian cancer earlier, when it’s much easier to treat.”
