Why am I running the Boston Marathon to benefit Dana Farber/Boston Children's Hospital?

Because my child died of cancer and every single day there is another child like her.

givengain.com/ap/andrew-kacz…
A child who dies. A family whose lives are shattered with their diagnosis. A devastated family learning their child's relapsed.

Unfortunately, we as a society aren’t doing enough for these kids.

I am running for each and everyone of them.

givengain.com/ap/andrew-kacz…
For kids with brain cancer and many other types of childhood cancer, there are few good treatment options, because these children are an afterthought in the world of drug development because there is no profit.

givengain.com/ap/andrew-kacz…
Every day, kids like Francesca, the most innocent and vulnerable in society, suffer enormously from that lack of innovation. Funding to find better treatments for this disease has to come from people like you and me.

givengain.com/ap/andrew-kacz…
After the government, private charity is the largest funder of research into childhood cancer.

Every dollar raised will directly support the newly-created Infant Brain Tumor Program at Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

Together we CAN fund the cures.

I am very proud to announce the creation of the Team Beans Infant Brain Tumor Fund at Dana Farber to benefit the newly-created Infant Brain Tumor Center at Dana Farber/Boston Children's Hospital.

TeamBeansFund.com
Since Francesca's death, we raised more than $820,000 to benefit the new Infant Brain Tumor Program at Dana Farber.

This program will be a place where top doctors and researchers come together in an effort to find better cancer treatments for babies with brain cancer.
Though Francesca will never get to experience the life she should have, with your support we have created a lasting legacy for our daughter.

We've sent a goal of raising $1 million by year's end.

To get this campaign started, we have personally donated $15,000 today.

If you don't mind me sharing a random story about some very good people.

When I was in Boston, my wife and I went out to dinner at @BleacherBar, a restaurant outside Fenway Park with Francesca between chemotherapy treatments.

We sat outside and were the only ones there.
This was October 2020 and they didn't have many customers.

It was our first time eating out during the pandemic.

The waiter noticed our hats – Rachel had on a Yankees hat, I had a on Rays hat. He made a joke about wearing them at Fenway Park.
We told him were there for our daughter's cancer treatments and he expressed how sorry he was.

Even though they didn't have many customers they gave us our meal for free. We told them we wanted to pay, but they wouldn't let us.

In radio interviews and events, Texas GOP chairman Allen West has been telling Texans they can secede from the United States.

cnn.com/2021/04/09/pol…
"If we voted and decided, we could go back to being our own republic," West said in one radio broadcast.

cnn.com/2021/04/09/pol…
West has also said Texas could nullify federal law and endorsed a radio host's view a actual Civil War might be "worth it" to keep Donald Trump president in an term two days ahead of the Jan 6th insurrection.

NEW: Videos reviewed by CNN show Anthony Aguero, a close ally and friend of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene inside the Capitol during the January 6th riot.

Aguero can be seen among the mob in the Capitol Rotunda and later exiting the building.

cnn.com/2021/03/24/pol…
Aguero, who Greene worked very closely with in her time as an activist and whom she called "amazing" and a "friend," cheered on the attack chanting "heave ho" as rioters broke into the Capitol and later chanted "our house," among the rioters.

cnn.com/2021/03/24/pol…
CNN previously reported in February Aguero claimed in a live stream he entered the building, the videos, from publicly available streams, are the first visual evidence that he entered the building.

I spoke candidly with @StatNews about our experience with pediatric cancer and what we are doing to help push for more research money and new legislation that will significantly increase funding for pediatric diseases.

statnews.com/2021/03/22/wha…
“You might see ads on TV, where you see a smiling kid who’s bald, and people think pediatric cancer is no longer a problem. But it’s a big, big problem. And Francesca’s experience is what motivates me — to make sure that we can do everything we can.”

statnews.com/2021/03/22/wha…
"I think that last month in the ICU is what motivates me to become an activist for pediatric cancer funding and legislation. People need to know that kids get cancer, and kids get brain cancer, and people need to know that a lot of these kids die from it."
