Bound for Boston

On April 20, when the 113th annual Boston Marathon kicks off, Auburn's Vin Gleason Jr. will be among the 25,000 participants in what has become the world's oldest, and perhaps most well-known marathon.

And while many of those who enter the 26.22-mile race will be running simply for the sake of competing in the prestigious event, Gleason has another mission in mind - something that has inspired him ever since he began running.

Gleason will be running for children and their families who are facing medical problems.
