Edward Ryan-Guillot: "...decided to set a new goal:... successfully finish all six of the world's major marathons: Boston, New York, Chicago, Berlin, Tokyo, and London... My family spends a great amount of time at the Public Library of Brookline and it's one of my daughter's favorite places."
Julie Farago: "spent every Marathon Monday as a kid cheering, slapping high fives, giving out water, and idolizing the runners. I am proud and delighted that I get to take part this year, and honored to run on behalf of the Brookline Library Foundation."
