Hi! I’m Thalita Abreu, and I’m beyond thrilled to share that I’ll be running the 2025 Boston Marathon for Ashland!
I’ve been an Ashland resident since 2020, and every year, you can find me cheering loudly near mile 3, feeling inspired by the incredible marathoners passing by. But this time – I’m stepping off the sidelines and hitting the course!
In 2022, life threw me a curveball when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had to pause long-distance running, but I stayed moving through walks and amazing workouts with my friends at CrossFit Synergistics. Those moments not only rebuilt my strength but also uplifted my mental health. Now, in remission and feeling cancer-free, I’m so excited to lace up and take on this incredible challenge.
I’ve completed five marathons, but this will be my second since remission – and it feels extra special. I’m proud to be part of a program that raises funds for local initiatives and organizations right here in Ashland. Running while supporting the BAA Grant Fund is a dream come true.
My goal is to raise $3,000 to benefit essential programs like emergency assistance, youth services, sports, senior outreach, public safety, and even our food pantry. Every step I take is for our community – to strengthen and uplift the place we all call home.
I’m so grateful for this opportunity and deeply appreciate every bit of support along the way.
Let’s do this together! 💙💛
