Fleet Feet Hits the Street for Boston Bombing Victims

Monday, runners in Lincoln Square will join the nation in a display of support for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings.

The memorial comes just seven days after two bombs exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Three people were killed and more than 180 injured in the blasts.

The FBI now has photos of two men investigators believe to be responsible for planting the bombs, which were set in pressure cookers and loaded with shrapnel to cause maximum carnage.

Amid tragedy and unanswered questions, a running company in Lincoln Square is hosting a run to honor and fundraise for the victims. The event is part of a national effort by running organizations across the country.

“We're truly blessed to be part of an industry where so many people came together to make a difference,” said Fleet Feet operation manager John Moloznik. "We're pretty excited about this, we're excited to be able to help.”
