Cavaretta ran in honor of his close friend and Emerson College fraternity brother Jon Goss. A cancer survivor, Goss was undergoing treatment at the time Cavaretta decided to participate in the marathon.

To raise money for Team in Training and increase sponsorships for the marathon, Cavaretta
held an event where he raffled off a host of prizes, including Red Sox tickets, a Beatles-themed cruise in Boston Harbor, a weekend stay at the Meadowmere Resort in Ogunquit, Maine, and a pair of LA Gear sneakers from the newly relaunched Unstoppable line.
