HPLF’s Boston Marathon runners – Jim Montalto, Vipul Minocha and Danielle Keane – ran to fantastic finish times on a cold and wet marathon Monday, raising nearly $25,000 for the Library project. Thank you to them and to all who donated in support of their marathon efforts, especially the Minocha family who matched all gifts in support of Vipul, and the 9 Hopkinton families who joined 1000 Homes for Hopkinton Library in support of Jim!
