'I just remember holding hands standing at the finish line and looking like, 'What was that?'' Joe Andruzzi recalled.
Twenty-one runners took part in that year's marathon for the Joe Andruzzi Foundation, which helps families dealing with cancer.
"I remember somebody coming over and yelling, 'We have to get these fences down so we can get the ambulances down the road,'" said Joe Andruzzi."I didn't think, I just reacted. Right away, my wife was by my side, and she reacted with me.""I ran across the street and I told them to let me help, and I picked her up. That was their mom, actually. She was hit by debris," Joe Andruzzi recalled.
"I think of all the beautiful things that have happened in the last 10 years, and I think that is what lifts us up," Jen Andruzzi said."That's what needs to lift us up on Monday, April 17."
