During her junior year of high school, Jessie Russell was diagnosed with Lupus.
But she hasn't let that affect her doing the things she wants to -- like running the Boston Marathon.
Meb Keflezighi won the Boston Marathon, becoming the first American to do so since 1983. The women's race saw Rita Jeptoo, of Kenya, set a new course record.
As a nation we continue to remember the tragic events of the 2013 Boston Marathon and support all of those affected.
Today, Grand Rapids will join a nationwide movement by hosting a Run for Boston 4/17.
