Running Boston Marathon for OCH
April 17, 2007 Marathoners Cross the Finish Line
and raise $12,000 for Old Colony Hospice
Pete Vacheron, member of OCH's board of directors, and his sister Karen V. Alexander ran the 111th Boston Marathon on Monday, April 16, 2007 in "great running conditions" according to Peter. Pete crossed the finish line in 3 hours 49 minutes and his sister Karen came in right behind him finishing at 3 hours 56 minutes. Peter and Karen dedicated their run to the memory of their dad and raised $12,000 from family, friends and colleagues pledging their support to Old Colony Hospice.
"We are proud of Peter and his sister, Karen, and thank them for raising funds in support of Old Colony Hospice and spreading the word about our programs and services to their family and friends," said Jim Marsh, Chairman of the Board. "What a great accomplishment for both of them in weather conditions that spectators did not find as much fun," Marsh said.
Donations to their effort can still be made at www.firstgiving.com/petevacheron.
Thank you Pete and Karen from all your friends at Old Colony Hospice!
