 Dear john,
Have you even reached for the stars, trained for an exhilarating sporting event or stretched yourself to achieve a personal goal? That is what our four runners on Team MTF—Running for Research have done as they train for the 2018 Boston Marathon® as part of John Hancock's Marathon Non-Profit Program! On Monday, April 16th, Massage Therapy Foundation's team will race to raise funds for a cause that benefits everyone connected to the massage therapy profession, including clients, supporting research, education, and community service projects. Learn more about our team below and help inspire them by making a donation that means so much. Donate here: https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/massagetherapyfoundationincboston2018/   Lindsay Bodkin (LMT) was inspired to enter the profession after massage therapy helped her regain function after a major accident. "I'm running for the people whose bodies can't endure a marathon, and to teach my three boys the importance of self-care. Thank you to my family, friends, colleagues, and complete strangers who are cheering me on throughout this journey. The love and support is overwhelming; and I am completely grateful." Massage therapy has always been a part of Desiree Bourgois van Oosting's (LMT) wellness-focused lifestyle. Her life's mission is helping people move toward their healthiest potential. Watching a client overcome physical adversities to run the 2008 Boston Marathon inspired Desiree to buy her first pair of running shoes.
"I am grateful to my client for his influence and the gift of running he shared with me 10 years ago. It's a dream to run the Boston Marathon!"   Shadonne Harris (LMT) has a life built around educating others and helping them reach their goals. She is a massage therapy instructor and fitness coach. In her practice she specializes in back and neck pain and she is excited by the research that gets results for her clients.
"Training for the Boston Marathon has required a commitment and dedication that has made me a better person in every area of life. I am thankful for the opportunity!" Teresa Matthews (LMT, CPT, BCTMB) is a passionate massage therapy educator and practitioner who loves the challenge of competition.
"I am excited to help my profession by raising money for research! Training for the marathon has been a valuable adventure. I have gained a great appreciation for people and athletes who live with pain. I can't wait to experience the powerful, positive energy of race day at the Boston Marathon! I just love it!"  Thank you to our Premiere Team Sponsor, AMTA, and to our Honored Team Sponsor, Performance Health!  Thank you for taking the time to learn about our 2018 Team. Please make our runners smile and support them in helping Massage Therapy Foundation do work that is vital to our profession! https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/massagetherapyfoundationincboston2018/ With sincere gratitude,  Doug Nelson, LMT, BCTMB, CNMT Massage Therapy Foundation President  Massage Therapy Foundation 500 Davis St, Ste 950, Evanston, IL 60201 Email not displaying correctly?
