In addition, this was not a decision that was made in a…

The speech was the turning point for international focus on peaceful uses of…

The horrific event on Boylston Street changed the lives of many in only 12 seconds on April 15th, 2013. People crossing the finish line were very lucky. It was the 117th running of the Boston Marathon, the one that changed lives inside and outside. It was no different for Josh. Everyone watches as I cross the finish line with the time of 2 hours, 10 minutes and 22 seconds. My long legs were blown out after running the 26 miles 385 yards. I walked slowly over to the tent for food and rest…
