Tell Us Your Good Deed

The house where I grew up is on the route of the Boston Marathon, just about at the 10-mile mark, and every Patriot's Day, we'd have a big party. That was My Day: I made it my mission to get as many of those runners to laugh or smile (or even just perk up a little) as I could. I would stand out there for hours cheering them on, just to show them we were behind them and try to give them a little boost to keep on going toward the finish line.

Why are you participating?

Because we're all so much more than the labels that others put on us (and we put on ourselves)!
