Boston Is in My Heart

April 15, 2013 By Uta

My Dear Friends,

I am heartbroken and terribly sad. I am thinking of all of you and I am with you. My thoughts and those of my entire team here at Take The Magic Step go out to the victims, their families and the city of Boston.

Thank you for all your concern, love and care. I spoke with Kathy Boyer and Randy Rechs, and all reports indicate Dick and Rick Hoyt and all 2013 Hoyt Foundation team members and their families are safe.

Further, I spoke with Pat Lynch from the John Hancock team and he assures me that all my fellow elite runners are OK.

The loving atmosphere of this beautiful race is still too near and dear to me to say more. Please stay calm and be strong. Much love to you all.
