Race honors sacrifice of fallen soldier


(Kristen Caira, NECN: Dedham, Mass.) - Mary Ellen Callahan officially started the race. She then hopped right in to run the James Joyce 10k ramble herself. She's not running to get in shape. She's running to heal her heart and keep her son's memory alive.

Staff Sgt. William Callahan was killed exactly one year ago in Iraq. The Marine explosives expert was trying to disarm an IED when it exploded.

Callahan was in the reserves and decided to re-enlist right after 9-11. Callahan leaves behind a young wife and a baby boy he never met.

NECN's Kristen Caira has the story.
