Bill King

I have always wanted to run the Boston Marathon but never had the guts to really actually train for it. I ran track for 4 years in High School and 4 years in College as a sprinter. Once I was out of college I started my first type of endurance sport. I started racing road bikes and have raced my way to a semi-professional level. After the marathon bombings and the horrific murder of my fellow brother Officer Sean Collier, I found the ultimate motivation to finally train for the Boston Marathon. I will run the Boston Marathon representing the MIT Police Department and in honor of our fallen brother, Sean Collier.

Strong Person

Dear Bill King,

I really think that you are a strong person.  It is sad that you have lost one of your fellow friends.  There were a lot of people that donated money to you.  It looks like you are a GREAT dad! :)  I can tell that you like to ride bikes also.  I like riding bikes too.  I think that MIT is a great place to go to and work.  You have a hard job for working as a Police Officer.  I really think that you are a great person because you look nice and kind.  You have been through a rough time but you are happy now.  I hope that you like my comment.  :) :) :) 

Just another reason why I am

Way to go.  I was watching the finish camera, and watching your little cartoon runner head down Boylston, but could not pick you out at the finish.  Bravo!   Fortis!

I watched your little cartoon runner on the baa site, and watched the finish line camera, but could not pick you out crossing.  Well done!
