Below is some information about Bobby and what he is doing.
"I am raising money for Children's Hospital Boston through running the 2013 Boston Marathon. I began running a few years ago and ran my first marathon in Philadelphia in 2011. Even before I was a runner, I had dreams of running the Boston Marathon. I received an invitational entry to this years race shortly before Christmas and immediately began to think of which charities I could run for. Since the number was from John Hancock, I was able to choose any charity I would like as long as it fell into the 501(c)(3) non-profit category. It wasn't long until I realized that Children's Hospital Boston would be the perfect charity for me to run to raise money for.
In my experience as an EMT I have seen some horrific and heroic moments. The emergencies that have impacted me the most have involved sick and critically injured children. The work that the staff of that hospital performs are truly miracles and positively effect the lives of so many families. I am friends with a member of the critical care unit at Children's Hospital Boston who has invited me into the hospital to shadow him and also meet some of the patients that the money raised would help. Seeing a sick child is heartbreaking; but if everyone's effort could make one child's life a little bit better, that's all that really matters."
