Worcester Business Helps Stoneham Brothers Injured in Marathon Bombings

By Mark Ouellette

A Worcester business recently made a donation to help a pair of Stoneham brothers injured in the Boston Marathon bombings in April, according to the Norden Brothers' Facebook page.

"The support of new friends continues and quite honestly never ceases to amaze us; as today Amy Chacharone, Monique Labelle and Holly Judd stopped by to present a significant donation and framed poster of many well wishers to Paul and JP (Norden)," reads a message posted Sunday on the brothers' Facebook page. The Nordens, of Stoneham, each lost a leg during the marathon explosions on April 15.

Chacharone owns Studio 100B Fitness Warehouse in Worcester, according to the Facebook page.

"(She is) the fitness guru responsible for leading many people in the direction of good health," reads the Facebook post. "In addition, she and her club graciously raised monies to contribute to the Norden Brother Benefit Fund.

"The words fitness and generosity are synonymous with friendly and grateful and a truest form of kind people committing great acts."
