The James Gang, a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2017, is dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities for inclusion for adults with intellectual disabilities.

The organization is named in honor of James Anderson, who lives with NARS1 gene disorder and is an active member of the intellectually disabled community. Through participation in road races, cycling events, and other athletic activities, we promote inclusion and raise awareness.

The James Gang also provides grants to local recreation departments and adult day programs, fostering connection and friendship through a shared love of sports. Additionally, we support research toward a cure for NARS1 gene disorder through The Rory Belle Foundation.

We are proud to announce that The James Gang is an Official Charity Partner of the 2025 Boston Marathon.  We will be fielding a team of five runners who will represent Team James Gang and raise funds to support our mission.  The 129th running of the Boston Marathon will take place on Monday, April 21st, 2025.
