Teresa Lambert from Merrimack is running the last stage of this epic relay.
The One Run For Boston is a relay stretching from California to Boston in support of the survivors of last year's marathon bombing.
The first One Run for Boston was organized just weeks after the bombing, raising $91,000 for the One Fund to assist survivors and the families impacted.
During last year's run, participants moved the baton 24 hours a day through scorching deserts, torrential downpours, and lightning storms. This year, the goal is $1 million for the One Fund - which provides financial support for survivors, many of whom still struggle from injuries sustained during the bombing.

Three friends from England - Danny Bent, Kate Treleaven and James Hay - are the driving force behind the relay which was first organized in June 2013 in response to the Boston Marathon bombings.
They’ve been honored by the participation of so many directly impacted by the bombing, and also veterans and others who have drawn strength through a remarkable grass-roots community of runners.
“We wanted to do something to help those impacted by the blasts. We had no idea if the relay would work, let alone take off in the extraordinary way that it did," Bent said.
