Name: Nick Carpino
Age: 35
From: Hartford, Conn.
I am running the 128th Boston Marathon for a few reasons. I am running to fulfill a lifelong dream of crossing the finishing line on Boylston Street. This will be my first Boston Marathon and first marathon ever! As a nurse practitioner specializing in vascular surgery, I am also running to promote vascular health. Finally, I am so lucky to be running as a member of the Greater Boston Food Bank team! Together we are providing thousands of meals to those in need.
