Dear Boston Marathon Runner,

You have inspired me because even though bombs were going off and a lot of people died or got hurt you still are going to run again next year! When the people who got affected by the bombs went to the hospital, you ran another 2 miles to donate blood to the hospitals. You have been a leader to our country. You gave me a message to “not give up” and “unless someone like you cares an awful lot nothing is going to change!” Thanks for being a great leader!!!

Love,
