LETS GOO! Run fast Sgt. Murphy!

🏃‍♂️On Your Mark… Get Set… GO! 🏃‍♂️

Today’s the day! Sgt. Murphy is taking on the Boston Marathon, tackling all 26.2 miles while proudly representing Old Town, Anette Emerson, Strength to Strength and all the lives affected by the tragic Boston Bombing in 2013.

Months of early mornings, long runs, and relentless dedication have led to this moment, and now it’s time to hit the pavement. From the first stride to the final stretch, he’s carrying the pride of our department and community with him every step of the way.

Let’s send Sgt. Murphy some encouragement as he pushes through every mile, your support goes a long way! 👏

Run strong, stay safe, and finish proud, we’re all behind you!
