  • The Girl Who Ran: Bobbi Gibb Statue to Be Unveiled in April
    Volume 5 | November 2019 The Girl Who Ran: Bobbi Gibb Statue to be Unveiled in April The Foundation’s goal to honor Bobbi Gibb, the first woman to run the Boston Marathon, has exceeded the second and final stage of its fundraising objectives, Foundation president Tim Kilduff announced recently, and a bronze statue of Bobbi will be installed in downtown Hopkinton just prior to the 2020 Boston Marathon in April. This second phase, whose goal was $26,200, brought in more than $32,000, thanks in part to Bobbi’s family and campaign guidance by Charity Team’s Susan Hurley. The statue, sculpted by Bobbi herself (shown), is being cast now by Buccacio Sculpture Services of Canton, Mass. More about Bobbi’s pioneering story can be found in The Girl Who Ran, whose publisher, Compendium, is donating signed copies of the book to those Crowdrise donors who contributed $100 (illustration from book, above). Find out more about Bobbi’s epic 1966 run and the sculpture project here and here. And, listen to a brand-new Boston Herald podcast here, in which the Foundation details the history of the project. Apply Now: ‘Team Inspire’ Bibs for Boston Going Fast As we write this, approximately 50 of the Foundation’s 65 invitational entries for the 2020 Boston Marathon have been spoken for, with runners from as far afield as the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong and Indonesia selected to represent ‘Team Inspire’. In return for the bibs, team runners have been asked to donate or fund-raise, with proceeds earmarked for the Foundation’s signature project, the development and construction of an International Marathon Center (IMC) in Hopkinton, MA.

  • Tells Inspiring Story of First Woman to Run Boston Marathon New Children’S Illustrated Title Celebrates Bobbi Gibb and Her Historic Race
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Angeline Candido Compendium 206.812.1640 ext. 228 [email protected] “The Girl Who Ran” Tells Inspiring Story of First Woman to Run Boston Marathon New children’s illustrated title celebrates Bobbi Gibb and her historic race. SEATTLE (June 15, 2017) — In 1966, the world believed it was impossible for a woman to run the Boston Marathon and Bobbi Gibb proved them wrong. Compendium is honored to announce the release of “The Girl Who Ran”, an illustrated children’s book based on Gibb’s journey to become the first woman to run Boston Marathon. The book begins with Gibb as a young girl with a relentless desire to run “like the wind in the fire.” A visit to the Boston Marathon with her father ignited her dream to take part in the race. But her application was rejected by the Boston Athletic Association which informed her that women were incapable of running the marathon distance of 26.2 miles. People worried she would cause herself serious injury and thought that she was mentally ill. She proved them wrong and finished the race ahead of about half the men who were running, with a time of 3:21:40. Authors Frances Poletti and Kristina Yee worked to bring Gibb’s story to life. Illustrator Susanna Chapman visited the Boston Marathon and sketched runners, capturing the spirit and community of the race. A timeline on the back of the book gives a history on the Boston Marathon and the increasing number of women who joined each year.

By CHRIS MUSUMBAPosted Saturday, December 13 2008 at 18:42 IN SUMMARY Multiple champions join celebrated ER actor in Shoe4Africa charity game in slum An embarassment of talent was on show at the Kibera Primary School on Saturday with a galaxy of the world’s top marathon stars on parade on a sports-for- peace mission. Interestingly, the multiple champions were not lining up for yet another marathon, but tried their hands, or legs if you like, in a charity football match against a Kibera women’s football team under the Shoe4Africa charity initiative. Former world marathon champion Paul Tergat, two-times London Marathon champion Martin Lel, four-times Boston Marathon winner Robert “Mwafrika” Cheruiyot, former Boston Marathon runner-up Christopher Cheboiboch and 1992 Olympic steeplechase gold medallist Mathew Birir were in the team that won the match 3-1. Also fielded was 1987 world marathon champion Douglas Wakiihuri, American television drama series, ER, actor Anthony Edwards, aka Dr Mark Greene and Shoe4Africa founder Toby Tanser. The match followed a five-kilometre women’s run which saw over 3,000 runners get free T-shirts and running shoes from Shoe4Africa who are on a fund raising mission to raise money to build a Sh1 billion children’s hospital in Eldoret.
