Not a whole lot of time to write this morning, I'm headed out to volunteer for Barack. We're canvassing today, which I don't enjoy quite as much as I do phone banking, but the up side is that there's exercise, so I can skip the gym, which I was going to do anyway, but now I don't have to feel guilty.
I did find an interesting bit of video from Sunday at JohnKerryTV on YouTube of the Senator at the Brian Honan 5K run/walk. Brian's story is tragic, the popular Boston City Councilor having died at age 39, but the memory of his life and work lives on in the Brian J Honan Charitable Fund and the many tributes and memorials, including the annual run, dedicated to Brian and the causes he championed.
Brian J. Honan served the Allston Brighton community for more than seven years as District Councilor and for his whole life as an advocate for Allston Brighton and the people of the City of Boston. He lived a life filled with purpose and spirit that transformed ideas into action. Brian's vocation in serving the people of Boston - seniors, young people, community based workers and educators - left an unparalleled legacy.
This year's race winners were Andrew Wommack of Jamaica Plain, with a time of 15:55 and his fiancee, Tara Vance, with a time of 19:10, and all the people who benefit from the great work of the Brian Honan charities. You can donate to continue the work Brian started at the address on the foundation's website.
