    Motivated to keep moving

    Local runner returns to Boston Marathon to aid cancer research

    Overcoming multiple health issues to be in the Boston Marathon last year, Naples seasonal resident Rick Ricciardi said seeing his daughter Caroline at two separate spots along the route, including at the dreaded Heartbreak Hill, “was such a boost.” Along with her roadside encouragement again when he takes his second consecutive run at the event on April 21 to raise funds for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, he also looks forward to meeting someone who gave him extra motivation to cross the fabled finish line near Copley Square last year.
