Powerful Image of Peace and Hope!

One hundred and twenty pairs of running shoes were arranged in a colourful heart as the cover image of the May issue of Boston Magazine. These shoes belonged to some of the participants at this year's Boston Marathon. The issue also features a piece of  individual photos of 15 pairs of runners with each their own story of their response to the tragedy. 

Within 18 hours of its release on Twitter, the image was re-tweeted 1,063 times. A digital page was also launched so more people from around the world are able to post photos of their shoes and share their own story in relation to the Boston Marathon. 

There has been a great deal of kindness, support and resilience from people around the world for the people of Boston. Hope these are inspirational.  

Here are some of the individual photos of shoes and stories:

  1. This is the first I've seen of this campaign, and how wonderful it is to read the stories of behind each pair. Thanks for sharing.
