Emily says: \n“I grew up in Holden\, MA and started running track in middle school. I went on to run middle-distance in high school and was captain of my college track team at Holy Cross in Worcester\, MA. For the past ten years\, I’ve been living in VT my husband Sam and our kids\, Lucy and Nolan. After many years away from consistent running\, I’m grateful for the chance to participate in the Boston Marathon and represent Race Amity. I was introduced to this organization by my father-in-law\, a long time friend of founder William “Smitty” Smith\, and I’m proud to be able to run in support of such a worthy and needed cause.” \nEmily’s father-in-law\, Herb Landsman\, is a member of the Board of Directors of the National Center for Race Amity. Herb learned about the race amity movement from his long-time friend and neighbor\, Dr. William “Smitty” Smith\, who founded NCRA and served as its executive director until his passing in December 2024. \n“Our family treasured our friendship with Smitty\, his wife Marcia and their kids. We are committed to carrying on the vital work he initiated and are so pleased to make this contribution toward promoting cross-racial friendships and partnerships in all walks of life.” \nDouble your impact! The Landsman family will generously match every donation dollar for dollar up to our campaign goal of $7500! \n \n Donate Now!
