Another first-timer, Erin Richardson (far left), 31, of Los Angeles, is running her first full marathon for the American Liver Foundation, in memory of her mother. Richardson, who lived in Boston for ten years before moving west, said she has raised over $3,000 for the cause. Friends (from second left) Nicole Pierce, Colleen Neidig, and Megan Campbell, will be watching.
