Inspiration

The Largest Moon Since 1948

A close up video clip of tonight's supermoon, the largest since 1948. NASA noted that the next time a full moon will be this close to earth will be November 25, 2034 (in 18 years). 

It's inspiring to look at the moon and know that over 40 years ago thousands of people worked together and were able achieve an unfathomable goal of getting humans to land and walk on the moon.

It's also inspiring to look up at the sky and know that there are six countries currently working together to pilot the I.S.S. (international space station) while traveling 250 miles above the earth at 17,000+ miles per hour while conducting research for a better understanding of life on earth and for future space missions. In 2034, the next time a full moon is this close to earth, SpaceX is planning to have humans on Mars.

It's truly inspiring to see what can be achieved when humans work together. Whenever you see the moon, realize 12 people have walked on it and the next time the moon is this close to earth, there could be humans walking on Mars. Get outside, look up and know that anything is possible if we work together.

The City of Boston & the Boston Marathon

A few clips of Boston & The Boston Marathon that I have taken over the past 3 years. 

The video shown here is a glimpse into the passion that the city carries and the support the community has for every runner during the Boston Marathon, no matter their shape, ability, size, background or belief.

In 2015, 26,598 runners representing 87 countries across the globe crossed the finish line. The more important statistic is that participants running on behalf of the Boston Athletic Association’s official charities raised $15.63 million dollars.

I'll be raising money for the Museum of Science Traveling Programs. The Traveling Programs serve over 100,000 students annually in New England area and help students experience the excitement and learnings of the Museum of Science's education programs, even if they can't make it to the museum. Funds that our marathon team raises will provide scholarships to schools and libraries that do not have the means to pay for field trips to the museum. These programs help engage and inspire students to learn more and stay in school.
