Boston Marathon 2015 Runner Profile: Samantha Hughes, of Charlestown

Name: Samantha Hughes

Marathon experience: Four-time Patriots Marathon Team member.

Reason for running: Pursuing goal of running 10 consecutive marathons.

“This is my fourth year running for the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation. I have always run with the notion in mind that I was bettering the city I lived in by helping raise money to honor those who give back. It has been an amazing experience to see the Myra Kraft Community MVP recipients recognized for their philanthropy and I could not be more excited to be a part of helping change our communities.”
