I'm running because I moved to Boston one year ago, not knowing a single person. The first person who invited me into her home and made me feel like part of her family, is a runner. Sadly, she was hurt during the Boston Marathon. I'm running for her, because in my eyes she is Boston Strong by not giving up on herself, continuing her belief in humanity, and not letting anyone or anything stop her from running. I joined a running group four months ago, which has positively impacted my life. This group connects the most diverse group of people through their love of running. I befriended amazing and kind people in this group. I'm running for Boston, which is now becoming home.
