Finding the Finish Line

Hello and Happy Friday!  My name is Jessica Lanzoni, and I am a fellow Malden resident!  I will be running the Boston Marathon this year on April 21, and wanted to share with all my neighbors!

  • Name:  Jessica Lanzoni
  • Age: 31
  • Goal: 4 hours and 55 minutes
  • Reason for running:  Running the Boston Marathon has been a lifetime goal for me.  After the tragic events of last year, I resolved to run this year no matter what!  I am running for Tufts Medical Center.  Tufts Medical Center provider stellar care to my father several years ago when he had emergency heart complications.  He continues to see the doctors at Tufts Medical Center for care!  Tufts Medical Center staff also provided care to victims of last years marathon.  Many of the staff rushed to the scene to provide emergency aide while many others worked round the clock at the hospital.  Many of the victims continue to receive outpatient care at TMC today, nearly a year later!  I am honored to be supporting such a wonderful organization while living out my lifelong dream of running Boston!
