Note: The following is an announcement from the Ace Bailey Children's Foundation:

On Monday, April 18th, Ace Bailey's niece, Vanessa Mazandi, will be running the Boston Marathon in memory of her Uncle Ace. Kimberly Dadasis and Rebecca Rex, two very good  friends to the foundation, will be running on Ace's team as well.

This will be Vanessa's first time running a marathon and she is doing it in memory of her much-missed Uncle Ace and to raise money to support the Ace Bailey Children's Foundation. Donations are tax-deductible and every gift will help hospitalized children at the Tufts Medical Center's Floating Hospital of Children in memory of Ace.
