Inspirational Story
In many ways this story on Will Tarantino '05 is very sad. He does have a malignant brain tumor and gave up pursuing a PhD because of it. On the other hand, he is not giving up on life will be running in the London Marathon this weekend. At W&M he was a 3:50 1500 meter runner and last year ran a 2:29 at the Boston Marathon (just off his PR of 2:26). Click here for his story. You can also go here to see his webpage where it tells his complete story and also is a fundraising source for brain cancer research. I'll follow up as soon as I know how Will does this weekend.

Bill ran Boston last year in 2:29 and California International in 2:26. He's running London coming up soon.

Best wishes for him and his family,
