Best of luck, Romen!!! As a 2x Boston runner all I can say is WOW, what an experience!!! Take it all in…the spectators, the signs, the Wellesley scream tunnel, blaring music at the Newton Fire Dept. as you turn onto Comm Ave., Heartbreak hill (if nothing else push through by looking at all the beautiful homes), your first glance of the Citgo sign and the rush you’ll feel hitting the corner of Hereford and Berkeley. There’s no better feeling than when they put that medal around your neck! YOU GOT THIS!!! 🎉 ⭐️ 🏅

Romen,

Race day is almost here, and I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the dedication, resilience, and grit you've shown throughout this journey. Training for the Boston Marathon isn’t just about miles—it’s about pushing through adversity, proving to yourself what you're capable of, and building character along the way.

On race day, embrace every step. Take in the energy of the crowds, the history of the course, and the incredible accomplishment of getting to that starting line. No matter the challenges that come, trust your training, stay present, and enjoy the ride. You’ve earned this.

Proud of you—go crush it!

Dear Rome,

I am so proud of you, and would be proud of you if you never even ran .1 miles towards this goal - but all the more special that you are!

If ubuntu's 'I am because you are' is true, then it sums up who you are as a person. We are all collectively better for the influence you've had on us, and who you typify what it means to be a man for others.

All of our lives are better with you in it, and we now all get to have your back as you've had ours!

Proud of you buddy, and see you on Marathon morning!!!

-Mr. Foley

Romen - Enjoy every minute of it! You got this! Best of luck!

Running Boston is such a surreal experience. Enjoy every step of the race but also every step of what gets you to Hopkinton on April, 21. Every dollar raised, every early morning training run, take it all in.

You got this in the bag.

Romen,

I couldn't imagine a better representative of SJP helping with this challenge! What an absolute delight to know you and have gotten to know you over the years through those who respect you so highly. I have no meaningful marathon advice, since you've run more in the past few months than I have in my entire life, just know that we're behind you every step of the way!
