“Hi, I’m Anna Walker, a current senior in high school! Growing up, I’ve always loved running, and attending the marathon each year is one of my favorite traditions. Watching runners persevere through the Newton hills and cross the finish line always filled me with awe and inspired me to dream of one day running the marathon myself. 

This year, I am so excited to turn that dream into reality because I’m running in the 129th Boston Marathon! Running has always been a huge part of my life, from jogging around my neighborhood to participating in local road races, running has always pushed me to challenge myself. 

What makes this experience even more meaningful to me is that I’m running to support an incredible organization, The Second Step. Their work in empowering survivors of domestic violence and helping them build safe, stable futures is truly inspiring. As I prepare for this journey, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you for cheering me on and supporting me in this amazing cause.”
