Rebecca Lueders is running Boston to empower women
"I’ve developed friendships with women I would never have otherwise met."
In our “Why I’m Running” series, Boston Marathon runners share what’s inspiring them to make the 26.2-mile trek from Hopkinton to Boston. If you’re running the marathon, you can share your story here.
Name: Rebecca Lueders
Age: 31
From: Medfield
I’m running to support 261 Fearless [Club New England], an organization aimed at empowering women and developing community through running. I’ve been apart of 261 Fearless since 2018, initially with their Washington, D.C. group, and later with the Boston group.
Through 261, I’ve developed friendships with women I would never have otherwise met. Having a group of women to cheer me on and support me in all of my goals is incredible.
I am running to give other women in New England this same opportunity.
