What happens when you run a 14 miler in 10 below…

Competitively running since the age of 14, this won't be my first Boston Marathon, but it will mean the most. This year, I joined the MIT Strong Team to honor Officer Collier, and his colleagues in the MIT Police Department, and to show my support for the entire MIT community. The events of April 18, 2013 are deeply personal to me. I did not know Officer Collier, but as the Dean-on-Call that evening, I was involved in the initial campus response to his death. Later that night and into the next day, my family was forced to shelter-in-place as the police moved into our Watertown neighborhood searching for the suspects.  I can't think of a better way to honor Officer Collier and to show how strong MIT, and the people of Boston, truly are.
 
As a symbolic gesture to Badge #179, I hope to raise at least $17,900 for the Collier Fund.

You can do it!

We've crossed into April and we're just a few weeks away from the big day! I'll be along the route cheering on Adam and the MIT Strong and Collier Strong Teams - will you?

Go Adam Go! You can do it!

Good luck!

I'm proud of you for doing this, Adam. As a "retired" Boston Marathoner, I have a special place in my heart for the race.
