This YouTube video of Saturday's Boston Bruins' ceremony sums up the spirit of healing for Jeff Bauman Jr.
With the Foo Fighters high-energy "All My Life" blasting over the PA system, Jeff Bauman Jr., 27, who lost both legs in the Boston Marathon bombing, appeared on the ice at the TD Garden Saturday night, holding a "Boston Strong" banner in a surprise appearance before the Boston Bruins' hockey game. According to this Boston Globe story, Bauman, serving as honorary fan banner captain, was introduced with text projected on the ice that read, “By now you know his inspirational story. His perseverance in the face of great adversity represents all that is Boston Strong.” When the lights went up, Bauman was extending a Bruins banner in his right hand and pumping his left fist in the air, and the crowd went wild. Bauman didn't address the crowd, …

Members of the Greater Nashua area's popular running club reflect on the Boston Marathon bombing.
Dozens of runners, from seasoned racers to social joggers, gathered at Nashua High School South for the first Gate City Striders track practice of 2013. Before practice, an email was sent to runners encouraging them to stand together in solidarity, wearing any Boston Marathon attire they might have in their collection. For those who didn't have anything, Dave Salvas, who was at the finish line of the marathon on Monday when the bomb went off, brought about a dozen marathon jackets that he's collected over the years. Runners then stood around the track, paying silent tribute to the three spectators killed and the dozens wounded in Monday's bombing. Some wore black race-style bibs handed out before practice, printed with Monday's date above …

Patch editor gives a first-hand report from the Boston Marathon.
Monday, April 15 was my first time running the Boston Marathon. It was supposed to be a fun day focused on overcoming a strenuous 26.2-mile race, but once I reached the end, I was greeted with panic, caution and tears rather than high fives and celebrations. Monday was a perfect day for a runner and spectator – it was sunny and warm with a cool breeze. It would be hard to find an excuse why anyone with the day off from work wouldn’t be in town to either watch the race, the Sox game or to grab a bite at a restaurant. I was running this marathon as a bandit. I had no official number and was nervous security or someone from the Boston Athletic Association would kick me out. Once I reached the start line, it was smooth sailing. I was full of …

Good news is Triple H will live to chop block another day.
Wow, 25 Nashuans heading for Heartbreak Hill!
They run for all sorts of reasons: in memory of a loved one, to raise money for a cause ... and just to say, "I did it." The 117th annual Boston Marathon takes place on April 15 this year, taking runners through the course that threads from the Hopkinton starting line to Boston. As it states on the official website, "the Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world's most prestigious road racing events. The Boston Athletic Association manages this American classic, which is sponsored by John Hancock Financial Services. The Boston Marathon has distinguished itself as the pinnacle event within the sport of road racing by virtue of its traditions, longevity and method of gaining entry into the race (via …

Former Nashua High School baseball player is first New Hampshire native to play for the home team.
Baseball season is in full swing across New England, for players and fans alike, from the truncated Little League T-ball diamonds to Boston's Fenway Park. Somewhere in between, Kevin Nolan is living the dream and making New Hampshire history. Nolan has gone from standout baseball player at Nashua High School South to starting short stop for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats – and already made Fisher Cats baseball history, as the first home grown New Hampshire kid to play for the home team in its 10-year history. His former high school coach, Will Henderson, has followed Nolan's progress for years. Long before he hit the Double-A big time, Nolan caught Henderson's eye with his above average junior high athleticism. "Back then we still had the …

I am glad to see that Jeff Bauman Jr.is doing better. Hopefully he get's the latest in technology for the prosthetic legs. The technology they have today is amazing. I hope he continues to recovery and may God Bless him as well. All Representative Tremblay had to do is watch TV and see that this poor guy lost his legs. Or does she believe that everyone at the Bruins Game is part of the Black Op's… more ›
