For another year, I had the honor of photographing the Race to Cure Sarcoma in Boston at Boston Common. This event is always more than a race — it is a morning filled with hope, resilience, remembrance, and community.

Survivors, families, friends, doctors, volunteers, and supporters came together to raise awareness and funds for sarcoma research. As a Boston event photographer, it is always meaningful to document moments like these: the hugs before the race, the smiles at the finish line, the emotional speeches, and the beautiful way this community shows up for one another.

The energy at Boston Common was inspiring from the start. From the runners and walkers to the families cheering along the course, every part of the morning told a story of strength and support.
