When the prestigious running event, originally slated for April 20, was postponed due to COVID-19, Way found that she still had plenty of supporters cheering her on at home.
In a heartfelt video, Way can be seen finishing a makeshift marathon, crossing a finish line that’s adorned with balloons as friends cheer her on.
According to Jen Skeel, a friend and the person who shared the video, the April 19 at-home marathon was organized by Way’s husband after the Boston event was postponed.
