COO participates in the 2023 Boston Marathon

April 2023 – You’ll find our COO, Brian Buran, at many marathons, and on April 17 he participated in one of his favorites – the Boston Marathon – where he raised $12K for the charity Miles for Miracles, which supports Boston Childrens Hospital. The marathon raised more than $3 million this year, and since the marathon began in 1996 it has raised more than $40M. According to their website: Team members raise funds for Boston Children’s Hospital’s areas of greatest need through the Every Child Fund—supporting vital care and services for patient families throughout the hospital that are not covered by insurance.
