I'm Anne. I will be running Boston Marathon (4th) in April! Last March, the medical team at MEEI -and my sweet husband - saved my life!

08/15/2020

When the pandemic crisis started in the Spring, and Boston Marathon got postponed, then cancelled / virtual option, I hit PAUSE on the fundraising efforts. I went and ran 2 full marathons, by myself. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Mass Eye and Ear is not a place focused on COVID-19, however they have continued practices, take all precautions, and are now in a tighter budget than ever before. (We don't even get team logo shirts!)

In less than a month, I will be running the Boston Marathon - Virtual Experience🏃🏻‍♀️, but I won't be running on the race course, and I won't have a million screaming spectators every step of the way, and I'll have to support my own run fuel. It will be everything EXCEPT from the real thing.

I really miss the way races used to be. 😕

If you can take a few minutes to read my story, and consider a donation of any size, I and Mass Eye and Ear would truly appreciate it. EVERY dollar counts! 😀🏃🏻‍♀️

If I could breathe and talk normally...

Dear Facebook Friends and Family,

I have big news! I qualified, again! On April 20, I will run my 4th Boston Marathon®, now as a member of Team Eye and Ear, a group of 50 dedicated runners who are raising money to advance the truly inspiring work of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear. Since its inception in 2006, Team Eye and Ear has raised more than $6 million to support the hospital’s exceptional clinical care and ground-breaking research. I could not be more excited to join this elite team and to help advance such innovative work. I ran 3 marathons this Fall, Chicago - faster than my past 7, and a couple of weeks later, I ran one in Vermont that was cold, rained all day, but I got 12th place, overall! To date, I’ve completed 22 marathons.

Mass. Eye and Ear is truly a special place. Having Neurofibromatosis Type 2 has been a battle throughout my life. I have been blessed to have supportive family, friends, and the best doctors in the country. Personally, I have been helped enormously by their care and expertise. Last March, the team at Mass. Eye and Ear - and my sweet husband – saved my life! I promised my surgeon that if he restored my ability to breathe and talk normally, I would run the 2020 Boston Marathon with Team Eye and Ear. He chuckled, smiled, and said, "Okay, we'll see about that.”

I’ll be there in 2 months! (Read more of my story at teameyeandear.org/annenoble)

Each year more than 300,000 people from 80 countries seek the care of Mass. Eye and Ear doctors and I can say from experience that they really do change lives. Mass. Eye and Ear is ranked a Top Hospital in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. In addition to being a world leader in treating people with vision, hearing, voice and balance problems as well as cancers of the head, neck, and eye, Mass. Eye and Ear is home to the world’s largest vision and hearing research programs. Physicians and scientists have a long tradition of pioneering research to develop new drugs and surgical techniques and they continue to aggressively pursue innovative treatments that give hope to people around the world. Since many Neurofibromatosis (NF) patients suffer from symptoms related to eyes, ears, nose, and throat. Mass. Eye and Ear works closely with Dr. Plotkin and the Harvard NF clinic.

Our team fundraising goal is $500,000 and I have a personal goal of raising at least $20,000. I hope you join me in supporting Mass. Eye and Ear by making a gift today.Donations are fully tax deductible and can easily be made online at teameyeandear.org/annenoble or if you would prefer you can write a check made out to: Foundation of Mass. Eye and Ear, Inc.and mail it to me (above), so I can track, before sending it to the hospital. Check MEMO: “Anne Noble”

Also, if your company participates in a matching gift program, please consider applying to have your gift to Mass. Eye and Ear matched.

Sincerely

Anne Noble
