In Massachusetts, we believe in the power of teamwork. It’s what made Boston strong in the wake of a terrible tragedy, and it’s turning the Dorchester FieldHouse into a reality. I can’t think of a better way to pitch in than with a $12M investment in this great project.

Yesterday, our co-founder and namesake @TommyESmith completed his 7th @bostonmarathon since being paralyzed multiple times. Alongside our friend, Bill Richard of @TeamMR8 , and Brian (BK) McCarthy, who walked the race with Thomas to raise funds for TESF. Together, Thomas and BK raised over $150,000 for our mission to better the lives of those with affected by paralysis. And the best part? The finish line. Thomas, BK, and Bill were surrounded by our incredible supporters, family and friends. The energy we shared together made that moment even more #unforgettable. Whether you cheered us on in person or supported us from afar, thank you for helping make this experience so special for Tom, BK, Bill and our entire team. Your energy and presence at that finish line were what truly made the day one we will never forget 💚💙💛

It was wonderful to join the Richard family and Boston residents for the annual Lighting of the Ship at Martin’s Park! This is a special park in our city where everyone is made to feel welcome. Lighting the ship for the season has become a favorite Thanksgiving weekend tradition!
