Jennifer....the marathon....and Children's Hospital Boston

Hi everyone - thanks for checking out my blog....I have never been into the whole "blog" thing but so many of my lovely friends and family have been so supportive on my push to run the NYC Marathon on November 2nd that I thought the easiest way for everyone to share this journey with me is through the blog...

I didn't get into the marathon through the regular lottery so I am running for charity. I chose Miracle for Miles because it is for Children's Hospital Boston. As many of you know, my roots are in Boston as well as 99.9% of my family. I also went to college at Northeastern which is just down the road from Children's. My brother was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when he was a child and I was just a little girl so I know first hand how hard it is for children to understand when they are diagnosed and it is crucial for them to have support, love and education. I am passionate about raising as much as I can for Children's Hospital and thanks for your support!

Lots of love!
Jennifer
