And of course the famous B.A.A. Boston Marathon enters town every Patriot’s Day from neighboring Wellesley via Route 16, with a turn on Route 30 or Commonwealth Avenue for the critical stretch on the hills.

The American Liver Foundation
The American Liver Foundation was established in 1976 by the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) to facilitate, advocate and promote education, support and research for the prevention, treatment and cure of liver disease.
Because research is integral to the work of ALF and is essential to improving treatment and finding cures, fundraising initiatives such as the Liver Life Challenge are critical to success and provide invaluable funds. For information please visit http://www.liverfoundation.org/
Liver Life Challenge (LLC): Coordinated by the American Liver Foundation, the Liver Life Challenge (LLC) is an endurance event training program that promotes awareness of liver disease and raises money to fund critical liver research. By collecting contributions from friends, family, colleagues and others, athletes earn the privilege to compete in some of the country’s most prestigious marathons, road races, climbs and other exciting events. LLC athletes receive training assistance, professional fundraising advice, and team gear as well as the rewarding experience of helping those affected by liver related illnesses while accomplishing their own personal goals.
