AMP, John Hancock, JJ Miller Latest To Unveil Tributes To Boston Marathon

AMP Agency and JJ Miller Productions are the two of the latest firms to unveil tributes to the Boston Marathon ahead of this year's race.

AMP and long-time Marathon sponsor John Hancock said they have created a "digital mosaic" under the hashtag #WERUNTOGETHER to encourage runners and fans to publicly share their thoughts, videos and photos of the beloved event.

Marathon enthusiasts can contribute to the mosaic or donate money to Marathon-associated charities at www.jhextramile.com. Fans can also send e-cards commemorating the spirit of the race through the site.

The mosaic will be displayed online and on screens throughout Boston during the 2014 running of the marathon, which is scheduled for Monday, April 21. 

Meanwhile, Boston-based photographer and video producer JJ Miller has created an online video honoring the spirit and resilience of the the Marathon and the City of Boston. Released about two weeks ago, #WEWILLRUN was intended to be shared on social media to help lift the spirits of runners and fans as they prepare for the first running of the race since last year's horrific attacks.
