Pictured is Bill Jones of Tamworth who decided last fall to run the Boston Marathon as a charity runner on the Multiple Sclerosis Marathon Strides Against MS team, supported by the New England Chapter of MS. He "ran" for Rose Cahill, pictured in the wheelchair, who was a former employee of his at the N.H. Air National Guard. Her dream to one day run the Boston Marathon was stolen from her when she was diagnosed with MS in 1991.Bill raised over $2,500 of his personal goal of $3,000. As a whole, his 50-member team raised more than $325,000 in the fight to find a cure and help people like Rose who spend every waking moment dealing with the daily struggle against MS.
