Global Rescue’s Bryan Ody will be running the 2016 Boston Marathon on April 18, 2016, in support of the Martin Richard Foundation.

Bryan wrote on his fundraising page, “I am running the Boston Marathon this spring as part of TEAM MR8 for the Martin Richard Foundation. Martin was the 8 year old boy killed in the 2013 terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon. Many can appreciate how terrorism and indiscriminate violence towards civilians has impacted our lives. As a retired veteran, this rings true more than most. I have chosen to fight against this violence by raising money in Martin’s name. Martin had a message of ‘No more hurting people. Peace.’ I will carry that message to the finish line.”

Bryan, a U.S. Army veteran who ran his first marathon in Taji, Iraq, is honored to represent the foundation and be part of one of the greatest marathons on earth.
