My name is Michelle Rose and I am 23 years old. I have lived in Ashland my whole life and now also work for the local cable station. You may recognize me from my numerous interviews with people and dogs. I am honored to be running the Boston Marathon and raising money for the town of Ashland this year. Every year when I was a kid, I would walk down to the end of my road and watch all the runners going past. This inspired me to become a better runner and maybe someday run the Boston Marathon myself. My dream has now come true. This past year I was at the starting line in the pouring rain filming for Ashland Cable and it still inspired me to run the marathon this year. I am excited to be a part of this opportunity and I appreciate all the help given to achieve my fundraising goal and hope to see you out there cheering me on! --Michelle Rose
