Do You Know Someone At Boston Marathon Today?

Does anyone know someone who was running the Boston Marathon or watching when the explosions happened?

We're looking to talk to them about what they experienced and what they're seeing.

If they took any photos and are willing to submit them, they can email them to me at Jessie.Sawyer@patch.com or text them to 860-356-6339, or share them with Avon Patch on Facebook and Twitter. They can reach me any of those ways to share information from the scene in Boston.

There were some Avon residents racing, so if anyone knows a way to get in touch with the following people, that would be so helpful: David W. Cowan, Fernanda B. Jacobs, Joel Lehman, Kimberly A. Mancini, Dickson Suit, Matthew A. Trivella, Sarah Wallace and Maddy Yopchick. Has anyone talked to any of them since the explosions? Is everyone okay?

Patch will provide more information as it becomes available. In the meantime, BackBay Patch is providing live updates: http://backbay.patch.com/articles/scores-injured-by-explosion-at-boston-marathon-finish-line
