When you think of legends that have played in a Boston Bruins uniform, Zdeno Chara has to be on that list. Although the beloved fan favourite has hung up his skates, Theresa something big around the corner for him.
According to his instagram, Chara announced that he will be completing the Boston Marathon next month, take a look:
EXCITING NEWS! I'm so happy to announce that I am running my very first marathon, and what better first marathon than the Boston Marathon on April 17th! In addition, I'm running to support The Thomas E. Smith Foundation & The Hoyt Foundation. Dick and Rick Hoyt made an incredible impact on millions of people worldwide and personally helped to motivate us to our 2011 Stanley Cup Championship. The Hoyt Foundation has an amazing legacy with the B.A.A. and this iconic marathon. Tom Smith is one of the most resilient and inspiring stories. With his passion and dedication, his foundation continuously helps those affected by and living with paralysis. If you'd like to make a contribution to The Hoyt Foundation & The Thomas E. Smith Foundation, please click the donation link in my bio. Hope to see you along the course, come cheer us on! <\q>
The 46-year-old Chara has never been one to back down from a physical challenge, albeit, this one is of a different nature. It's nice to see him continue to push himself and run for a great cause.
The city of Boston already had a tremendous amount of love for their former captain, this is just another reason to admire Chara.
The Boston Marathon takes place on April 17th, no doubt people will come out to support Chara as he completes his first marathon ever.
