Charity Athletes

Are you an athlete who wants to make that run really count? Do you want to cross the finish line proud of completing the race and helping to save and improve lives? We’re looking for athletes of all abilities and experience to join Team DetecTogether, athletes who are passionate about their sport and about our mission.

Since 2012, Team DetecTogether charity athletes have raised nearly $2M for early cancer detection. Just as important as the dollars raised is the awareness Team DetecTogether brings to life-saving early cancer detection.

Tina Marabello, 2024 Boston Marathon DetecTogether Charity Athlete who far surpassed her goal of dollars raised, shares her sentiments after this year’s experience.

Opportunities to join Team DetecTogether range from elite races to fundraising events at your local gym. Every athlete is important, and every effort helps us empower others to take charge:
