'Our hope is to be able to help these marathon survivors in perpetuity. As long as they're here, we're going to be here for them,' Greg Hill said of the benefit concert held Sunday night with the goal of raising one million dollars for survivors.
Their lives intertwined forever after two bombs went off near the finish line in 2013, killing three and injuring nearly 300. Patrick Downes is one of those survivors, losing his leg after the attack.
Former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh was also at the event, saying,"what's amazing this weekend is all the survivors, what they've accomplished and what they've done." Spencer became the official dog of the Boston Marathon after a video of him went viral in 2018. The good boy was holding “Boston Strong” flags in his mouth along the rainy route. Both dogs died of cancer earlier this year.
Other events Sunday included a private dinner with David Ortiz, who’s serving as Grand Marshal of the race this year. The event is raising money for his fund to help children who need heart surgery.
