On her first attempt at the iconic race, Rachel — daughter of EHS Special Education Teacher Bob Sansone and granddaughter of former Everett principal/teacher and Everett residents Bob Sansone and his wife Marguerite — completed the challenging course in an impressive three hours, 42 minutes and 37 seconds. More than just a personal triumph, Rachel’s marathon debut was a remarkable act of philanthropy. She successfully raised over $15,000 for the Tierney Learning Center, an organization dedicated to providing educational support and opportunities.

Within a short time, Everett Police arrested Jody Claudio, 49, and Christian Campagna, 22, both of Medford. According to Everett Police Capt. Paul Landry, one of the suspects allegedly entered the bank, passed a note and showed a fi rearm. The suspects then fl ed on foot, and they were stopped by Everett Police Offi cers on Gledhill Avenue. The suspects were placed in custody and transported to the station for booking. Officers recovered a fi rearm, a machete, clothing that matched the robbery suspects and U.S. Currency stolen from Eastern Bank. It does not appear that these suspects from the Everett Bank robbery had any connection to the two Boston bank robberies that occurred early on Tuesday morning. The suspects are to be arraigned in Malden District Court. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
