Many of us are still reeling after hearing the news about two bombs going off at Boston Marathon finish line yesterday.
I know I can’t stop thinking about it, especially the little eight-year-old boy who died. My children come to my races to cheer me on as I pass the finish line. Sometimes they even run with me. My mind almost can not comprehend that this little boy who had been there to cheer on his father is gone.
Our hearts go out to the people who were killed, the people who were injured, and all of the families affected, yet we feel helpless.
I, unfortunately, can’t donate blood for four more months due to a piercing I just got recently, but giving blood is something most of us can do and it could be the difference between life and death for a person who needs it.
So if you’re feeling helpless and want to do something that can help, maybe you can find a clinic near and donate.
I don't know...sometimes I just feel better when I can do something and if you're the same way, maybe this will help you while you're helping someone else.
My prayers and thoughts are with all of those who were affected by yesterday’s tragedy in Boston.
