Marathon Planning 99 re Monday, April 19th


Linda Stranieri helped to raise money on marathon day, 4/20/98 ... Mark Sheeran, Sarah Snyder, Abby Snyder and I pushed Linda on the marathon route ... Steve Bergen .. so far, we have raised over $2,100. A special thanks to each and everyone of you! Feel free to read the details of our "magical" marathon journey to Boylston Street. Here are the 32 pictures from Linda Stranieri's marathon trip on 4/29/98. To paraphrase Linda, it was truly a WOW experience. We left at 10:32AM (magic time) and arrived about 1:55 PM with the crowd chanting LINDA, LINDA, LINDA as we went down Boylston Street all by ourselves, just minutes before the winners!
