Run 4 Life is an organization that was started two years ago by Vin Gleason. Gleason began running to relieve stress after his son had surgery on his cranium. People started running with Gleason to raise money, and the organization was realized. An increasing number of people participated in runs with Gleason's group, and they started doing a variety of community work. This coming April, Gleason plans to run the Boston Marathon to raise money for the Boston Children's Hospital. His goal is $3,000.
