Another ‘run’ for Boston: Providence Mount St. Vincent

Another local outpouring of support for Boston as its people continue to recover from last week’s bombings: Anna Cronin from Providence Mount St. Vincent shares the photo and this update on what they’re doing:

Many residents, staff and children participated in The Mount’s “Marathon for Boston” to celebrate the resilient Boston Community and to remember the victims and those injured in the terrible events that took place at the Boston Marathon last week. Our goal was to show Boston that for every one person wishing to inflict harm, there are many, many more who wish to do good. We mapped out a route and together walked a combined 70+ miles! That is nearly three full marathons. Our hope is to eventually walk 3,048 miles (the distance from Seattle to Boston) in the following weeks to continue to show our support for, and solidarity with Boston.

    What a great way to show support from our community… and a laudable goal to walk the distance to Boston!

    We had so much fun walking to support our friends in Boston! Together as a community, we walked the distance of over 2 marathons. Thanks for all your support, West Seattle!
