🏃♂️🌟 Former Red Sox Player and Other Celebs Run Boston Marathon to Remember! 🌟🏃♀️
A former Red Sox player who pitched on the day of the bombing runs to honor a victim. 🙏🏼💣 A former Boston Bruins star, a Heisman Trophy winner, and a renowned chef are among the tens of thousands of Boston Marathon entrants slogging through the wind and rain on Monday. 🌧️💨
The list of celebrity runners includes tennis player Monica Puig Rakitt and restaurateur Daniel Humm, but most of the familiar runners are fixtures in the Boston sports landscape — from the much-loved defenseman Zdeno Chara to the former NFL and Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie to the pitcher Ryan Dempster, who played only one season for the Red Sox in 2013 when, motivated by the Boston Marathon bombings, they helped the city heal and won the World Series. ⚾🏆
Not even an hour after Dempster pitched for the Red Sox on April 15, two bombs exploded near the marathon’s finish line, a little more than a mile from Fenway Park. 🏟️💥 Dempster recently told Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe that he will “never forget that day” and that his season in Boston felt like 10 “with everything that happened.” 📰🕰️
“The way the city allowed us to have a small role in people recovering changed my perspective about baseball,” Dempster told the Globe. “That’s why I wanted to come back and run the Marathon. Of course, I had to do it in Boston.” 🏃♂️💭
Dempster is running in honor of Lu Lingzi, a Boston University student who was killed in the attack. 🕯️🌹
