EMAIL DETAILS

Brian – as I told you on the phone, I can’t thank you enough for taking care of this family. This is an incredible family that has gone through so much this past year. I can tell you first hand, Bill Richard called me after you spoke to him, and he was both moved by your generosity and relieved that he could provide comfort to his family. You’re amazing.

The entire Richard family was in the blast 1 year ago at the Boston Marathon. Their 12 year old son, Martin, was the young boy who died in the blast. Their daughter, Jane, also lost part of her leg. The oldest, Henry, was not injured in the blast. We saw them on Tuesday at the Memorial ceremony in Boston. http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/04/13/year-since-marathon-attack-richard-family-finds-strength-begin-moving/f7Rz2QWY7nDP12QFFwzPsM/story.html

They are coming to DC from Sunday through Wed/Thursday, because they don’t want to be in Boston during the Marathon on Monday. They will visit with the President and attend the Easter Egg Roll on Monday.

The road block that they are running into regarding travel is that they cannot fly because Denise (the mom) just had another corrective ear surgery from the blast, and she is not able to fly.

They were looking to get on the 11:23am Acela leaving from the Boston Station - Route 128 / Westwood, MA (RTE) that gets into Union Station at 5:55pm on Sunday.

They are just looking to buy 4 tickets on that Acela train for their family - Bill and Denise Richard, and their children Jane and Henry.

Hi there,
Fran needs to talk to you about an Amtrak issue.

The Richard Family (son Martin died in the Boston Marathon bombing last year) are trying to get to DC on Monday for the Easter Egg Roll but can't fly because of the mom's recent ear surgery (because of the blast)...but the Acela they need to take is sold out... Fran was wondering if you had someone that could help out this situation.
