Last Chance to Support Team Eye and Ear

The Boston Marathon is over, but you still have the opportunity to support members of Team Eye and Ear in their final fund-raising push. The 60-member Team Eye and Ear is diverse, with runners ages 21 to 61. While many have personal experiences as patients or employees of MEEI, they all share an enthusiasm for supporting the hospital's mission and bringing hope to people everywhere who suffer with conditions affecting sight, hearing, voice and balance. The team was made possible due to the generosity of John Hancock Financial Services.

Please help support our team members, as they have all committed to raising $3,000 each to help fund hope for those individuals who suffer with conditions affecting sight, hearing, voice and balance. Team members turn in their funds soon. Meet the members of the team by clicking on their names below.
