One Run for Boston

We are so proud of our guests Jennifer Iaccarino, and Sheila Cardell for their recent participation in “One Run for Boston”, a cross-country run started to raise donations and support for the city of Boston and those whose lives were affected forever by the marathon attack on April 15, 2013. 

One Run for Boston, which was started by a British author and teacher Danny “Danny Boy” Bent, was the first ever non-stop running relay across America.  Hundreds of runners from across the country began June 7th in Los Angeles and were assigned to different legs throughout the US.  Jennifer and Sheila were part of the Bridgeport to Milford leg of the race with “Girls Gone Miles”, a group of women who are “passionate about running and celebrating life”. A special GPS enabled baton charting the route was passed along by participants, and made Boston its’ final destination on July 1st.   One Run raised over $80,000 to help victims of the marathon bombings.

Way to go girls!

The One Run banner, which tracked the route of the relay, was signed by all participants!
