This year we are adding the New York and Chicago Marathons to our program. The Respite Center, located at the start line of the Boston Marathon and is a home away from home for children and adults with disabilities. Sharon Lisnow and Mary McQueeney, special education teachers, founded the Center in 1994. Sharon's son, Michael, was born prematurely and weighed only one pound. Michael's prematurity caused cerebral palsy and blindness. He is the inspiration for the Center. Michael lived for ten wonderful yet difficult years. Michael died in 1996.
