Summary

Kicking off this year’s Boston Marathon series on Discover Boston College, Rachel Grant ’26 shares her inspiring journey training for the Boston Marathon in support of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. She reflects on how her mother’s 23-year battle with multiple myeloma — and her own recovery from a torn ACL and meniscus — have fueled her determination to run 26.2 miles. Rachel also speaks to the unwavering support of the BC community, her roommates and friends, and the perspective she’s gained while balancing training with everyday life on the Heights. As race day approaches, she opens up about the emotions, motivation, and meaning behind every mile — and what it will mean to cross the finish line.
