News became worse when I found out later that day that a friend of mine and his parents were seriously injured in the bombing. He and his mom had minor injuries including  bone breaks and lacerations. He suffered a seizure and concussion as well. His dad unfortunately had to have a lower portion of his leg amputated. The whole thing is disgusting. But we as Bostonians can never be knocked down. We will not be broken. In that light...

This Saturday, tomorrow the 20th, as you know I am conducting a running workshop. I am donating all money to his family. If you can make it outstanding, but if you would still like to help and support please feel free to send a donation to the gym:
1753 Northwind Blvd
Libertyville, IL 60048

Thank you in advance for your support.
