“These organizations have a long history of fostering love, peace, patience & humility in our community. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting some of the at risk teens who have been directly impacted by these programs. It changed their lives. It’s pretty awe inspiring to be part of something so meaningful – the Boston Marathon & helping inner city youth in need,” said Suntken in a note on the Melrose Boot Camp website.
