SHOWING OUR SUPPORT - Published 17/04/2013 |
The best way for the running community to show our solidarity and support for those who were hurt, and the family and friends of those who were killed in Boston, is to get out and do what we do best … run. Today, people all over North America are getting out to “Run for Boston”. Here at EA Canada (Vancouver), we did a 5km lunch-time run to show our support and let those affected know that we care.
