Jack Nealon, Rick Odell, Mark Sanborn, Ben Carroll (all from Hopkinton) and Brian DeSena and Daniel Sweeney (both from Loyola University Maryland) will be running in the upcoming Boston Marathon on April 15th to raise money for the LiveForEvan organization.

The LiveForEvan organization was established two years ago in memory of Evan Girardi who passed away on September 6th 2010. A group of Evan’s close friends formed the community-based organization in Evan’s memory and to raise money to help support the Hopkinton High School “Evan Girardi Memorial Scholarships” and local non-profit, heart-related foundations.
