"I have a lot of co-workers and friends, very close friends, who have struggled a lot through the pandemic as healthcare workers," she said."I came up with this crazy idea to run a marathon in scrubs, and I was just going to do a local, small marathon. Then I thought maybe if someone caught wind of this, it would get bigger. So, go big or go home, and I'm going to Boston.
