One Boston Day marks the Boston Marathon bombings that took place eight years ago.Each year, the day serves as an opportunity to celebrate the resiliency and strength demonstrated in response to the tragedy of April 15, 2013. Martin Richard, 8; Krystle Campbell, 29; and Lu Lingzi, 23, were killed in the bombings at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. More than 200 people were injured. MIT police Officer Sean Collier, 27, was killed days later during the manhunt for the bombers. Boston police Officer Dennis Simmonds died one year after responding to the shootout with the bombers.Memorials mark the two spots along Boylston Street where the bombs went off. "Even though we cannot be together to celebrate One Boston Day this year, we encourage everyone to show acts of kindness to others. This has been a tough year for everyone, but we will get through this together," Boston Mayor Kim Janey said in a statement. The city put together a checklist of acts of kindness to honor the day.Some of the suggestions on the kindness checklist include:Check on an older loved one or neighbor.Donate to a charity or buy takeout or a gift card.If you're healthy, give blood to the Red Cross.Share a good thought on social media with the #OneBostonDay."Help honor Boston's resilience, generosity and strength. Let’s show the power of One Boston Day as we reflect and serve together," Janey said.
