 Members of the Boston University community are remembering and honoring a beloved Terrier, Lindsey Liu. Lindsey was a graduate student at Boston University when she was killed during the marathon attacks last year. Now, seven people with BU connections chosen in part by Liu's family from a pool of 200 are running the 2014 marathon in her honor. It just seemed like just a great thing to do. So I really wanted to help people in memory alive through this run. It's such a bittersweet moment because obviously she can't be here with us, but she definitely motivates us. Team Liu gathered at Cornwall's restaurant in Kenmore Square in order to raise money for the Liu-Ling-Z scholarship fund, which was established by Boston University and Lindsey's family. Though the runners did not know Lindsey personally, running for her was something they all wanted to do. Well, I think it's important to remember Lindsey, you know, she's a part of the BU community and it's great that we can have the scholarship to sort of keep her alive for years and years to come. The money raised from these shirts go to the Liu-Ling-Z Memorial Scholarship. The words written on the shirt memorialize the former Boston University Terrier. As for the runners running for the fund, the motivation has been fairly easy. For example, in honor of the victims, Ryan Shea ran an entire marathon on a treadmill last year and was selected to run in honor of Liu this year. Hopefully we can do something with this video, motivate or inspire people to do the same thing. I think I've ever seen on my four-year bed how excited I am, how privileged I am to be a part of this community and it's going to mean a lot, especially for her parents and relatives, as well as I think for the whole city in Boston University. For Chinese runner Bai Yun-Yao, the similarities between her and Lindsey is what's giving her the strength to run from Hopkinson to Boylston. We came from China where the only child in the family and we come along here. It's a very hard journey because we have to speak a totally different language, we have to adapt to a totally different culture and I think she didn't finish today's journey but I won't finish for her. Dan Mercurio finished last year's marathon a minute before the bombs went off and that's where he gets his motivation. I've run for charities in the past. This one's definitely more personal for me. It really hits close to home. Training's never been easier. I get up every day, I'm excited to run, I'm excited to improve myself and get in a position where I can make the Lindsey family crowd. In the end, honoring Liu and running for her one year after he attacks sends a powerful message. To send a message out to the terrorists is that we're not afraid of you and what you did is just totally wrong. You did not do this, change our lives. So we're going to fight for all of this.
