WELCOME TO TIM'S TEAM

Donations may be sent to the Timothy Padulsky Memorial Fund, 11 Dickson Road, Woburn, MA 01801.

Tim's sister Kristen and brother Stephen are ran the 2009 Boston Marathon, an event that always appealed to Tim to raise money for the Timothy Padulsky Memorial Fund.

Timothy Padulsky

In July of 2006, only two months after completing his freshman year at Boston College, Tim was diagnosed with leukemia, and therefore could not return to school in September. He underwent a bone marrow transplant in the fall of 2006, followed by a second transplant in which his older sister, Kristen, was the bone marrow donor. A year later, Tim returned to BC for what would have been his junior year, where he continued taking business classes, spending time with his friends, and throwing himself into his extracurricular activities.

Once first semester ended, however, Tim was unable to return to BC due to a continuation of medical problems. With time, additional complications arose, yet after nearly six weeks, Tim woke up even when the doctors said they thought he would not. Due to a recurrence of the leukemia, Tim returned to the Tufts Medical Center Floating Children's Hospital this summer to pursue the possibility of a third bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, the leukemia was more advanced than anyone had expected, and Tim passed away on September 14th, 2008, at the age of 20.

We  established the Timothy Padulsky Memorial Fund to benefit patients and families at the Tufts Medical Center Floating Hospital - where Tim was treated - and a scholarship will also be established in his name at Woburn High School.
