I'm running because My 4 year old son and I were blocks away from the bombings at the marathon last year. We were fortunate and blessed to escape any physical harm. I'm running to show my support for those who are still hurting physically, mentally and emotionally. I would like to extend a special thank you to my husband Jamal for his strength and support. Many thanks to all of my friends, family and health care professionals who have seen me through... your prayers have helped me tremendously. Through the hurt we will rise up and demonstrate to the world that we are Boston Strong!
