Ghassemi to run for a greater purpose in Boston Marathon

The Freeman

April 14, 2025

For Cebuano sportsman, entrepreneur and civic leader Afshin Ghassemi, a marathon has the power to unite humanity.

Ghassemi to run for a greater purpose in Boston Marathon

It gathers people from different backgrounds, cultures, religions, abilities and many more. Herein lies its strength because despite the differences, the goal remains the same - to reach the finish line.

As runners unite in solidarity to achieve such objective, they show the world their resilience and indomitable spirit.

Running for charity even gives a deeper meaning to a marathon’s unifying force.

Driven by that ardent desire, Ghassemi, an accomplished multi-sport athlete, will be running the Boston Marathon 2025 for a greater purpose on April 21 (Tuesday, April 22 Philippine time).
