Kaitlyn Mullen is fundraising
Kaitlyn's 2025 Boston Marathon Fundraiser for HEF
I am thrilled and honored to be selected as the recipient of the Hopkinton Education Foundation's 2025 Boston Marathon bib! I am excited to raise funds in support of the innovation grants submitted by our educators that benefit all of the students in our community.
My husband and I have lived in Hopkinton since 2016. We have a 6th grade daughter at Hopkinton Middle School and we live very close to the start of the Marathon. I absolutely love the energy and camaraderie we see leading up to the Marathon, especially on Marathon Monday. Everyone comes to the start line with a different story, a different journey and it is so inspiring.
I ran my first marathon (Boston) in 2023. I absolutely loved the hard work, grit, and accomplished feeling that came with running the marathon. It was truly one of the best days of my life! I loved being able to raise money for a meaningful cause and tackle something I once would have thought was impossible. I loved setting an example for my daughter and showing her that 45 years old was not too old to run your first marathon!
In 2024 I participated in the B.A.A. Distance Medley, which means over the course of 8 months I ran the B.A.A. 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon. Now I have my sights on the 129th Boston Marathon. As I lace up and prepare to run my 2nd marathon, I could not be more excited to raise money for HEF, who's vision is to be the catalyst that energizes Hopkinton Public School educators to deliver innovative educational experiences that inspire students to become lifelong learners.
Over the past 26 years, HEF has provided $1,300,000 to fund 335 grants!
Take a look at some of the incredible grants that have been awarded over the last few years HEF Grants in Action.
I am asking for your support as I attempt to tackle my second Boston Marathon representing HEF and Hopkinton!
