Team Member: Siobhan Cosby's Profile
I am a 24 year old social studies teacher and live in Brighton, MA. When I decided to run my first Boston Marathon, I wanted to be part of a team and organization that had an impact on my personal life. When I was selected to join the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress team I was thrilled because my Uncle Joel has Down syndrome. He is one of the most amazing and special people in my life. To be able to run for the MDSC team has made this whole marathon experience an even more meaningful part of my life as well as my family’s life.
