TMF was founded to help patients and families living with neurological diseases.

The Boston Waterfront 5K is an annual fundraising event scheduled for September 12, 2026, supporting the McCourt Foundation's mission to cure neurological diseases while empowering communities to build a healthier world. Over the past few years, the foundation has expanded its mission to Neurology and Beyond, by supporting other Boston based nonprofits with charters focused on health, education, and financial assistance.
