The sponsoring nonprofit organization, Disabled American Veterans supports over a million veterans with the mission to make sure no one who has served our country and suffered injuries is left behind. With so much lousy news lately, it was
nice to see the spirit that motivated participants, sponsors, and loads of volunteers creating a safe and festive celebration of sport. It was a tad bit cold for taking pictures, with the wind chill putting Boston into negative numbers, but imagine the loop from Castle Island to City Point and back was pretty bone chilling. The Marines who showed up in shorts didn’t seem to mind. Although everyone in attendance was a winner, Nick Ryan took first place in the Men’s division with at time of 17:18, and Caroline Shannon placed first in the Women’s Division at 20:31 Continued on page 6
