Rita Walker, second from left, explains some details to Alice Drislane at the registration table at the Paramount Theatre in Rutland. Walker, from Montpelier, is one of hundreds of Red Cross employees who have mobilized for the #GOLM13.
The day has arrived in Rutland. It’s clear, and at 9 a.m. the temperature is six degrees below zero. The breath is rising in clouds from people walking the sidewalks towards the Gift of Life Marathon in the Paramount Theatre. The city and county will need to mobilize to break the record of 1,968 pints in a single day.
People are starting to check in for their appointments at Paramount! No appointment? Walk-ins are welcome! #GOLM13
