Strength from a symbol: The Boston Marathon through the eyes of one runner

A medal is usually thought of as a symbol of an achievement earned, a victory won, or a personal accomplishment.Yet, it never really occurred to me that a medal could also symbolize all the thousands of supporters who make an event so special.My name is Kevin Christie and I’m a native Bostonian. I’ve been with FedEx as a proud courier for 26 years, and I’m a runner.
