FRAMINGHAM, MA - MassBay Community College nursing alum Hannah Careway of Framingham will run the 126th Boston Marathon on Monday, April 18 to raise money for MassBay's food insecurity initiatives. Careway graduated MassBay in May 2020 with her Associate Degree in Nursing. She is currently pursuing her master's degree at Simmons University in Boston to become a fammily nurse practitioner and working full-time at Fresenius Medical Care in Marlborough as a dialysis nurse.Careway was scheduled to run the Boston Marathon in April 2020, before the pandemic postponed the in-person race. Although Careway has run many 5K races and two half marathons, this will be her first marathon. "I'm excited to run the Boston Marathon and support the students at MassBay by raising money to ensure they have enough to eat while pursuing their educational goals," said Careway. "I remember being on campus and participating in the College's mobile food market, which provided free food to students. I am honored and inspired to run the marathon to support MassBay students, and I look forward to being cheered on throughout the course." MassBay was awarded an invitational entry by the Town of Wellesley to run the Boston Marathon, raising money to support MassBay's Student Hunger Assistance Fund. The Student Hunger Assistance Fund was established in 2017 in response to the increasing awareness of food insecurity among MassBay's student population. Careway and Gerstenfield both aim to raise $5,000 each in support of the college's food insecurity initiatives. The Town of Wellesley receives invitational entries for the Boston Marathon through the Boston Athletic Association Cities and Towns Program. These entries are awarded to charitable organizations selected by the Wellesley Board of Selectmen. Anyone interested in supporting Careway's Boston Marathon run, can visit this link.
