Brianna McQuaid
Name: Brianna McQuaid
Where I live: Worcester, MA
What I do for a living: Account Manager for a genomics company
Why I choose to run Boston with Herren Project: I grew up with an alcoholic mother who never found sobriety. Growing up, I had little resources to help cope with seeing a loved one struggle with addiction. I found out that Herren Project offered support to loved ones in addition to those struggling with addiction and I felt the charity was filling such an important gap. Many times, addiction can become a family disease because individuals do not have the support or resources to cope with the trauma that accompanies watching a loved one struggle. I wanted to do my part to help others like me AND support those who want the help.
What I do for fun (besides running and helping others!): I love theme parks, so any chance I get I am booking trips to Disney, Universal, and Six Flags!
What I’m most proud of: Running my first marathon in November 2022!
Donate to Brianna’s 2023 Boston Marathon fundraising campaign.
