hearing the news of the bostom bombings. danny thought he had to do something.

And do something he did. Organising a coast to coast running relay across the whole of the United States to show support for the people affected by the bombings.

 

A tiny idea to show support turned into front page news and raised $600,000 for the charity

 

When a community of people who had brought Danny love, friendship and most importantly community - Danny had to do something.

 

This is not a book about Danny’s adventure - this is a book of stories from people who took part. Woven together beautifully to tell the story of a community rising up to change a story.
