2018 marks the five-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing that injured hundreds and resulted in the death of three spectators. Boston came together that day in 2013 and in the months that followed to restore the community and heal its wounds. The Boston Marathon, held on Patriots Day each year, continues to be a day where thousands of Bostonians support and cheer on runners, many of whom have trained for months or years in order to qualify for the big day.
