My Marathon singlet has become a bit of a sacred clothing item. I hang it to motivate me throughout the long winter training season and then I wear it once and only once. It didn’t feel appropriate to take out my 2020 singlet yet so I will be breaking tradition and wearing this a second time.

I run in memory of some very special people and in support of so many who continue to persevere against this terrible disease.

As always, I’ll have BK’s laces around my neck and will be wearing the same hat I’ve worn for every Boston Marathon with Mom’s name.

Thank you for your support raising necessary funds for Dana Farber.
