Shirts! We got Shirts!

As with most tragedies, people have begun to wonder what they can do to support efforts at bringing aid and comfort to those affected by the Boston marathon bombings.   Interestingly, I saw a debate getting started about whether or not companies should market in times like these. 

 But, having been on multiple running social media sites, runners and non-runners alike are clamoring for something to purchase to show their support.  (Isn't that the American way?)

 So, for anyone interested, here's a list of available shirts:

 Gone for a Run:  http://www.goneforarun.com/Support_Boston_s/1241.htm


 Adidas/Official merchant of Boston Marathon: https://www.adidas.com/us/boston-tribute-tee/_/N-1z125b0




 And, One More Mile:  https://www.onemoremilerunning.com/index.php   They have multiple versions available in whatever style you might like. I am, however, posting one that I was involved in.  (I created a post with a version of this saying that went viral and OMM is making a T out of it!)
Happy shopping!  And, remember, while all of these show visible support, you can also make a donation directly to Boston One Fund:  http://onefundboston.org/

    When I saw the quote on the OMM shirt, I was very moved and reposted it on my FB page. I assumed it was written by someone who had qualified so I confess that as a fellow back-of-the-packer I like it even more that it was written by a peer. I'm really enjoying your blog. I read other runners' blogs but they are all fast runners so I can't relate to them as much.

    Thanks, Mary! I enjoy writing it and the words for that image just came as I watched the Boston events unfold. I've never created an image like that before much less shared it on Facebook! But, it was the kick in the pants I needed to start this blog. Plus, as several friends suggested, it helped raise some bucks for the cause!
