2014 Boston Marathon: Marianne (Walker) and Steven Quinn

The following was submitted by Marianne Quinn (Walker), of Melrose.

Name: Marianne Quinn (Walker) and Steven Quinn

Age: 29 and 33

Goal: We want to have fun and enjoy the long run and support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and Boston as much as we can.

 Reason for running: This will be our second Boston Marathon but our first one that we get to run together!

The experience of running on Marathon Monday is unreal; there are so many supporters and you get to run for a great cause.

I am running for Boston. I was lucky to receive a number from the B.A.A. through an essay submission this year; I wrote about the effects from last year’s marathon as we were both less than a half mile from the finish line while tracking runners from the Spaulding Race for Rehab team, my employer at the time.

Steve is running for Team in Training, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. His run is in honor of his Uncle Russ McCrum who lost his year-long battle with leukemia in February 2013.

We love being a part of the Boston marathon and supporting the charities.
