Rabbi Laurie Rice of Congregation Micah has once again completed the Boston Marathon. This year’s race marks her fifth in Boston and her 34th overall marathon. Her team in Boston supports the Heather Abbott Foundation which was formed in the wake of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. Abbott lost her left leg in the tragedy and thanks to the generosity of donors and supporters, she was able to obtain two prostheses. Abbott created her foundation to raise funds so other amputees can reclaim their lives.
This year, Rabbi Rice’s team raised over $180,000 for the team.
