A nation of runners takes on the impossible - a non-stop relay
across America to show support and solidarity for the Boston
Marathon bombing victims. "Danny and his team set out to run across
the entire country. Time and resources were limited, but their
resolve was unshakeable. Thanks to their focus and determination,
the amazing event that is One Run For Boston came to life. Hundreds
of people were keen to participate, wanting to help, heal and
honour those impacted by the events of April 15, 2013." Not All
Superheroes Wear Capes is the sincere, sometimes painful, yet
heart-warming and often funny, account of this extraordinary effort
made be so many caring and giving individuals. Kudos to Danny and
his team of heroes." Dave McGillivray (Director, Boston Marathon)
"Not All Superheroes Wear Capes proves, once again, that just
putting one foot in front of the other can change history."
Kathrine Switzer (First woman to officially run the Boston
Marathon) "I don't measure a runner by the number of steps they
take, but by the number of ways they use running to make the world
a better place. Running the One Run For Boston relay and meeting
all the runners proved to me that running is the ultimate faith
healer, restoring beleif not only in oneself but life's
possibilities." Bart Yasso (Chief Running Officer, Runner's World)
