Sam Takes Boston 2019

Incredible news: I'm over 50% of the way to hitting my goal of $7500! I can't thank those who have contributed enough. Every dollar - and I mean it, every single one - goes towards ensuring equal access to healthcare for all. And if you need a reminder of how important this is, simply turn on the news and see for yourself. As we enter the holiday season, let's keep those who might be struggling in mind, and actively work to create a better world for us as a collective society. Thanks all and have a great next few weeks! ☃️🎉💓

Excited to announce that I'm 20% of the way towards hitting my donation target. Thanks to all who have helped so far and if you're in any position to contribute now, your generosity would be greatly appreciated. Fenway Health stands with LGBT+ folks in a way that most healthcare centers do not, so a donation to them allows this community and other minority groups to have access to opportunities that would be otherwise unavailable. Thank you so much!

One of the greatest issues in public health right now is a lack of equity across different social, economic, and geographic groups. To play my part in addressing this, I’m fundraising for Fenway Health's 2019 Boston Marathon team, as Fenway is an organization that believes healthcare should be a right, not a privilege.

I’ll do the running, so you don’t have to - but I need help with the fundraising. If you can, please consider donating so that I can help achieve my goal and represent those minorities whose voices are not normally heard. As a member of the LGBT+ community, a group who historically does not have the same access to healthcare as others, this cause is near and dear to my heart and I would greatly appreciate any and all help.
