Boston College Students Honor Marathon Bombing Victims with 'The Last Five'

Hundreds of Boston College students gathered last week to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings and to show strength in the wake of tragedy. 

"The Last Five" walk was held on Friday, May 3, around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir as a way to symbolically finish the final five miles of the Boston Marathon, according to a report on NECN. 

Five hundred students gathered on campus before making their way over to the reservoir, where the group walked around the water twice, NECN reported.

The event was organized by BC undergraduates Michael Padulsky and Danielle Cole. Both Padulsky and Cole ran in the Marathon on April 15.

"Putting in all that hard work and training and then having it taken away like that...it hurt. It was painful in a lot of ways," Cole told NECN.

According to the NECN report, the walk helped raise money for BC students and alumni who were injured in the explosions.

Two Boston College graduate students who were cheering on runners at the finish line were injured in the bombings and are now recovering.
