Since the tragic Marathon bombings in April, “Boston
Strong” has become part of the vernacular.
The victims and their families have all been admirably
positive and strong.
The Boston Police, Fire Fighters, EMTs, regional
responders, volunteers and observers at the finish line who selflessly rushed
to help the injured were strong.
The extraordinary doctors and nurses in the Boston
hospitals who worked tirelessly to save limbs and stem the death toll were
strong.
In the face of this first act of terror on American soil
since 911, the President, Governor, Mayor and a multitude of public and private
individuals led the response with unprecedented unity and strength.
In fact, the whole country took on the mantle of “Boston
Strong.”
Children and young adults who have severe neurological
impairment, and their families, deserve
to know we support them through their ordeals, too.
Thank you for keeping those H.A.L.O. serves in your
thoughts. Your kindness makes all of us
“strong.”
Sincerely,Alan Pinshaw
