Help me run the Boston Marathon!

Somerville MA

Description

I'm running the Boston Marathon in April! I'm really excited (and totally not panicking, you're panicking), but since I am not fast enough to qualify on my own I have to “buy” a spot through a charity. Running with a charity all but guarantees my spot on the starting line, however, I need help raising the money for the charity bib. I chose a really cool charity, 261 Fearless, that's all about empowering women through running and education. This group of incredible women came to fruition because in 1967 Kathrine Switzer, wearing bib number 261 in the Boston Marathon, was attacked on the course, simply for being a woman. Rather than end the race early, she decided to keep running. Step after step, mile after mile, she felt growing confidence and became the first woman to officially complete the Boston Marathon.
