Tan, it turned out, was interested in blazing a new path: He hoped to do Antarctica as part of an attempt at completing seven marathons on seven continents in 70 days, culminating with Boston one week from tomorrow. Each race would be a fundraiser for charities, including the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Jimmy Fund.
William is coming to Boston to complete his task.
William is not your normal runner.
He is competing in a wheelchair!
I applaud his drive, his courage, his passion to succeed.
William, good luck in Boston!
