About Susan Lynch - Boston Marathon

I am running the April 2024 Boston Marathon for Children’s Friend because this organization literally ‘gave me my start’ in life. I was born in Providence and adopted through Children’s Friend in the 1960s. Starting with Children’s Friend’s loving care over 50 years ago, I am now in a position to help other vulnerable RI children and families by running this race to support Children’s Friend’s great work.

Children’s Friend supports RI’s children and families through adoption and foster care services, family support and wraparound services, and through early intervention programs. Specifically in 2021:

  • 21,508 individuals participated in services from Children’s Friend
  • 164,672 nutritious meals were provided to children in programs
  • 5,948 families received healthy foods, education, and referrals from the WIC Program
  • 1,263 children and their families participated in high-quality Head Start programs

Please join me in supporting Rhode Island’s children and families by supporting my run. I am running because I believe strongly that today’s children should get the same great start in life that I did over 50 years ago.

Updates from Susan!

It's Susan Lynch here, and I wanted to provide you with an exciting update on my journey towards running the Boston Marathon. As many of you know, I was adopted from Children's Friend, which holds a very special place in my heart. Now, I'm on a mission to give back.
On April 15th, 2024, I will be lacing up my running shoes and taking on the Boston Marathon as a way to support Children's Friend, the organization that played a pivotal role in shaping my life and giving me the love and care I needed as a child.
Your support will motivate me during my training and the marathon itself and make a meaningful impact on countless children who need it most. Thank you for considering a contribution to this important cause. Together, we can provide hope and opportunities to deserving children.

We accomplish our mission by ensuring that our services are family-centered, seamless, and outcome-driven. Children’s Friend also takes a leadership role in advocating on behalf of Rhode Island’s youngest and most vulnerable children, while being responsible stewards of the agency’s resources.
