Dear Neighbors, I wanted to chime in my thanks as well. I was also getting tired at mile 20 but got a huge boost as I went through Highland Park and saw all of the people and heard the cheering and the great music. It was an excellent moment and confirms my belief that Highland Park is, quite simply, a wonderful neighborhood!

Dear Neighbors, I want to echo Jeffrey's words - I was feeling pretty beat around mile 20, but having friends and family standing on Highland and Negley was a huge boost! Thanks so much for the support!!! You all rock :) Maureen _____ Subject: [Highland Park] Thank You!

I ran the marathon and it was a HUGE boost to see families & supporters on Higland Ave, pass T'azzadoro, then pass the Bryant Street Fest, and then the Union Project. Lots of people. Lots of music. (I even stopped to dance the Conga for a second. :) Thanks to you all for your organizing efforts to support us. Lots of extra good energy, smiles, and encouragement that helped me, and I'm sure a lot of others, continue on to the finish. Thanks Highland Park!
