Boston-marathon-finish

Students at Boston College are organizing an event for those who didn't finish the Boston Marathon on Monday in light of the bombings that took place at the finish line.

A Facebook event — titled "Boston Marathon: The Last 5" — is encouraging runners and supporters to walk from the college to downtown Boston on Friday, April 19 "to stand united." More than 10,000 people have already RSVPed to attend.

"In light of today's tragedy, let's remember, honor, and stand up for all those affected by the incident that occurred at the 117th Boston Marathon," the event states. "We invite everyone to join us on Friday, April 19 at 4:30pm to walk from BC to Boston to stand united. For anyone who did not get to finish, For anyone who was injured, and For anyone who lost their life...we will walk. We will walk to show that we decide when our marathon ends." Read more...
