Rockport Man to Run Boston Marathon to Raise Funds for Stoneham Theatre

Name: Landers Symes

Age: 46

Town of Residence: Rockport

Is this your first time running Boston? "No, third. All for ."

Have you completed other marathons? "Portland, Maine."

Why are you running? "My brother Weylin (Symes) is the artistic director and he told me I had to. Oh, and the theatre is a great organization that is a huge benefit to the local community. Thirteen years ago as a family we tackled the project of completely re-building the old Stoneham Theater into a modern live performance theatre. Along with great shows and entertainment it is through the Young Company that the theatre  can allow many kids to come learn, experience theatre and gain confidence and self-discipline wherever their journey in life leads them."
