Next Monday, on PATRIOTS’ DAY, I will complete a long journey filled with ups and downs and run the Boston Marathon. As race day approaches, I realize the last time I departed Hopkinton in 2014 that I ran with a purpose. I ran to show that terrorism doesn't win. I ran to support the courage of the volunteers and survivors of that terrible day in 2013, when I was lucky to cross the finish line before the bombings. And of course the victims and their families and loved ones. I am glad I ran in 2014, because Boston was very much alive, and not turning their backs on the great Marathon and its history. This year, I wanted a tangible cause to make those 26.2 miles count for others. IF NOTHING ELSE WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW!
