“Mixed emotions do not begin to describe the hours and days since my Boston Marathon run came to an abrupt and tragic end on Monday - after four exhausting hours on the course, I was stopped along with thousands of other runners, just a half mile from the finish.

Tenacious, spirited and strong, Boston will run on - and you can bet I’ll be among those at the start line next spring.” - Natalya Zahn, Illustrator and Graphic Designer
