In less than two weeks the relay baton will begin an extraordinary journey from LA to Boston. What adventures lie ahead? What incredible people will we greet? What stories we will have to tell!
A quick reminder that you’ll be able to track the baton LIVE on our website and chat with fellow runners at -http://www.onerunforboston.org/live/
P.S. In the coming weeks we’ll be asking you to help us name this year’s baton. Get your thinking hats on everyone!
The first of the ORFB organizers has arrived in America! Be sure to say hello to Danny if you see him
Oh… bonus point if you can guess where this photo was taken

2. Pair of autographed red short shorts, as featured on Danny’s Red Shorts - https://www.facebook.com/DannysRedShortsOfficial
3. An awesome selection of ORFB swag!
4. Signed copy of ‘Not All Superheroes Wear Capes’

Five things I learned in the USA last summer…
1) America really isn’t as dangerous as the movies make out.
2) Humans can survive, and some even choose to live, in temperatures above 75°F.
3) Nahongvita! means Run Strong! in the Hopi language.
4) Americans do actually drink tea. They just haven’t discovered the joys of boiling the water and adding milk yet.
5) There are many, many more good people in this world than there are bad.
…Looking forward to making more discoveries on ORFB2!

2.) Steve Badour -http://www.onerunforboston.org/u/Goodcause/

It’s safe to say that these two guys and gal were all super excited when we broke the news to them!
A huge thank you to everyone for your continued fundraising efforts. It is amazing to see what this family of runners is achieving and our commiserations to those of you who missed out on a bib.
If you could be one age forever, what would it be?
"Each year life gets better so I think this year, 35, is going to be the best year of my life. I can feel adventure, love and friendship on the horizon (maybe not in that order). The year One Run For Boston two rocks the world! ”

I’m running because…
"Are you kidding me? How could I not run? Give up the chance to run 20 miles in the middle of the night? Give up the chance to be part of an unbroken chain of runners stretching coast to coast in support of the the bombing victims, their families, and the world’s greatest marathon? Of course I’m going to run. Done deal. Please join me!"
