I am a nurse in the PACU at BWH and a mother of four daughters ages 10,8,5 and 3. There is alot of drama in my house! I live in Milton, MA. I love my job and love being a mom. I took my daughters in to watch the marathon last year because my sister was running...we watched from Natick. They were so excited and inspired cheering on the runners and we hugged my sister as she passed. The tragic events of that day turned their excitement and inspiration into fear and sadness. I wanted to run this year to show them in the face of tragedy- you must carry on and move forward and hopefully we will all again feel excited and inspired by this great day.
