On the day before the Boston Marathon, James Bairey CEO of Forno Bravo LLC and Tena McNeil CEO of MWS Enterprises met at the Convention Center in Boston to discuss James running of the Marathon for the Christopher Reeve Spinal Cord injury Foundation. Tena's husband George suffered a spinal cord injury back in 1995 while riding in a jet boat. The injury came just two months after the injury to Christopher Reeve. Therefore, James and Tena had a lot to talk about. Tena thanked James for his dedication in not only running the Boston Marathon but also for his intentions on running the Big Sur Marathon in Carmel, California. Tena further stated that it is because of people like James that allows researchers to help those with spinal cord injuries to lead productive lives.
