BROOKLINE, MA — Brookline residents Eric Emmons and David Krakauer will be running the 125th Boston Marathon on Oct. 11 for Pine Street Inn, the largest homeless services provider in New England. The money from Emmons and Krakauer's fundraisers will support the Boston's Way Home Fund, launched in partnership with Pine Street Inn and Bank of America, which will be used to help create 2oo new units of supportive, sustainable, long-term housing for chronically homeless men and women. Emmons has been an Innkeeper, or a sustaining monthly donor to Pine Street Inn, for three years. He also participated in the organization's virtual Boston Marathon team last year, running a marathon distance during the Boston Athletic Association's (B.A.A.) 2020 Marathon Week. "Pine Street Inn has been providing meals and temporary and permanent housing for Boston's homeless population for the past 52 years, and has been at the forefront of getting this population vaccinated in the recent Covid pandemic," says Emmons' fundraising page. Krauker is a Pine Street Inn volunteer and will be running for the organization for the seventh time. Last year, he was also part of Pine Street Inn's virtual Boston Marathon team and ran a marathon distance during Marathon Week.. "This is it ... 7th time running for Pine Street Inn!" says Krakauer's fundraising page. "Please consider helping me reach my goal and helping those in need break free from homelessness."
