Boston and the nation stands as one in light of the horrific tragedy that occurred on Monday.
And with 176 injured, the need to raise money for those who lost their limbs and to help victims and families rebuild their lives, is imperative.
Adidas, a sponsor of the Boston Marathon for the past 25 years, has launched a limited-edition T-shirt to raise money for victims of Monday’s explosions.
As a numerical tribute to the 26.2-mile race, the shirts cost $26.20, and 100 per cent of the proceeds will go to The One Fund Boston Inc., the fund set up on Wednesday to help those affected by the tragic event.
Adidas America president, Patrik Nilsson, said in a release: “The selflessness and compassion demonstrated by the city of Boston, the first responders, the Boston Athletic Association and all marathon volunteers in providing assistance to the injured have stuck with us and inspired us.,”
Mr Nilsson, who was in Boston on Monday for the race, continued: “We commend Boston – and those associated with the city and the marathon – for their reaction to this very challenging situation. We applaud them for standing together as one on Monday and in the days which have followed.”
Help support those who need it most right now.
