Congratulations to HPLF’s 2012 Boston Marathon Runners, Paul Newman and Peggy Shaw!!
Peggy Shaw and Paul Newman ran the 2012 Boston Marathon on April 16 to raise money for our mission of expanding and improving Hopkinton Public Library.
In the blistering heat, Paul ran the 26.2 miles in 4:50:29. Congratulations, Paul!
“As a proud father of two young children who have benefited greatly from the programs and materials offered at the recently renovated Charlton Public Library, and a vocal advocate of lifelong learning, I jumped at the opportunity to assist with the fundraising efforts of the newly formed Hopkinton Public Library Foundation. I look forward to the opportunity to continue these fundraising efforts into the future.” – Paul Newman
As an incentive to support Paul’s fundraising efforts, personal trainer Brian Day of Hopkinton (www.fitnessbyday.com) is offering a complimentary in-home personal training session to each of the first 10 Hopkinton residents who donate $200 or more to Paul’s fundraising campaign! The session even includes a custom exercise program.
