Team GoForGabs is back for our 11th annual race!!  We are excited to be back in Hartford and participating with all the other runners and walkers on race day – Saturday, October 14, 2022. We hope you will join us!!

GoForGabs was formed in 2013 with our first race in Hartford when our family and friends participated in the marathon and the kids’ fun run as part of the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center team. Since then, we have participated in several races and different events raising nearly $75,000 for various groups in support of pediatric cancer research. 

Now, our kids are older (we are all older…) and only a few of us are still running marathons.  Gabriella continues to bravely “run" her personal marathon and battle her cancerous tumors so Team GoForGabs continues to raise money for CT Children’s and pediatric cancer research. Cancer continues to impact our family in ways that we could never fully describe.

GoForGabs is our way to honor: 

* Gabriella, our daughter, sister, niece, cousin, friend and warrior, who continues to fight every day;

* our family and friends who have been by our side through each reoccurrence, surgery and treatment over the last 15 years; 

* all families who have experienced having a child with cancer. 

It is a forever changing experience and we pray for everyone battling this horrible disease. 

We hope you will join the 2023 GoForGabs Team to run or walk with us on Saturday, October 14. If you are unable to join us on race day, please consider making a donation to help us to raise money for CT Children’s and all the care and support they provide to their pediatric patients and their families. As one of those families, we are so very thankful for all that their doctors and nurses do, especially during challenging times. A donation of any size is appreciated. 

Please consider joining our team and supporting CT Children’s in any way you can. We appreciate everyone’s support.
