Through this program, we aim to help kids discover their strength, build community, and develop skills that can last a lifetime. We’re especially excited that participants will work toward joining us at the Boston Bulldogs Run for Recovery 5K this May at Franklin Park – an experience that will celebrate perseverance, community, and hope.
