Steven Young to Represent the MetroWest YMCA in the Boston Marathon

The MetroWest YMCA is pleased to announce that Steven Young of Framingham has been selected to represent the MetroWest YMCA with our first invitational entry number to the Boston Marathon on April 15^th . Steve stated that he wanted to run for the Y because “the Y has been there for me”. Steve’s daughter Lyia participates in the Y’s before and atfer school programs and loves gymnastics at the Y.  “My wife, Tamika, is in the military and without the Y’s programs it would be hard for us. And Lyia’s made lots of friends at the MetroWest Y too”, Steve said.

Originally from Dorchester, Steve started running in middle school and has never stopped. He’s been training for the Marathon before work and during weekends. Steve is committed to raising $4,000 for the Y’s Partners With Youth campaign for financial assistance and would welcome your support.
