[Kevin Spacey, Actor:] I was privileged to come to Boston and meet so many people who inspired me. And who I believe moved our entire country because of the spirit that you showed and shared with everyone.
[Berman:] That, of course, is Kevin Spacey, just one of many people so moved by the strength of the Boston bombing survivors. I can tell you one thing here about the marathon. We have a winner for the women. Rita Jeptu has set a course record on this race. The women's race now over in terms of the winner. We're waiting on the men to finish. That will be a wonderful thing when that happens as well. So we're talking about the Boston Marathon, the reawakening here. One group that has been helping so much from the very beginning, Boston Strong Apparel. I'm joined by the co-creators, Chris Dobbins, Nicholas Reynolds, also Lane Brenna. You guys with these Boston Strong T-shirts, OK, it feels like this is such an indelible thing that it's been around forever, but no, you guys were Emerson College students the day of the Boston Marathon bombing. Lane, tell me what happened.
[Lane Brenna, Co-creator, Boston Strong Apparel:] Basically, we came back to the dorm room that night. We all wanted to get together. We wanted to make sure everyone's fine and safe. We were watching President Obama and his speech that night. And we were really inspired by his saying that Boston is such a tough and resilient town. We say, well what can we do as college students to help? We said, Stay Strong to Boston Strong. Maybe we have 100 friends who might want to buy this shirt. The next morning, it just kind of was so successful. We couldn't even believe it.
[Berman:] There's been a lot of talk about who came up with the phrase Boston Strong. May have been in your dorm room, just sort of happened that day and took off as you said. How many T-shirts did you sell in that first month?
[Nicholas Reynolds, Co-creator, Boston Strong Apparel:] The first week was 37,000 T-shirts. We sold 37,000 within the next seven days. We only planned on selling for seven days. By the end of the month, I'm not sure. We're now up to 68,000 today.
[Berman:] The money is all going where?
[Chris Dobbins, Co-creator, Boston Strong Apparel:] To the One Fund.
[Berman:] How much money have you donated now?
[Dobbins:] We've donated over $1 million.
[Berman:] Over $1 million. Of course, the One Fund is the group helping the people, the survivors, from the Boston Marathon. It's such a wonderful thing. So many of them were involved in this race that we saw take off from right behind us here. As you were watching the people run by, as you were listening to people shout Boston Strong, you can't go more than 10 seconds here without someone saying it, how does that feel to you?
[Brenna:] It's amazing. It's surreal to know something we are a big part of was shown here today. And we just loved being here, seeing our friends who have overcome so much in a year, and we are so glad to be here with them. We're very honored.
[Berman:] What's the future for Boston Strong?
[Reynolds:] It's hard to say honestly. We hope people are still talking about it. We hope people are still thinking about the victims and the survivors of the Boston Marathon attack. We sort of see it move into a bunch of different grounds. We love to see it focused on the victims and focused on the survivors because they still need our help even a year later.
[Berman:] They still do, right?
[Dobbins:] Yeah, absolutely. It's been a long road for them. The more help that they can get, the better.
[Berman:] You have given so much help already. Not just the money but I think the sentiment, the Boston Strong sentiment. That's a thing, you know. It's out there now and it's been out there from that day when you first talked about it in your room to this day when we've seen the people of Boston, the 36,000 runners, take this course, and they will retake that finish line. Of course, the women's runner already across that finish line. Thank you for everything you've done. CNN's going to take a look at how some of the survivors are doing. That's tonight at 10:00 right here on CNN. Be sure to watch that. Michaela?
[Pereira:] I'm showing off my Boston Strong bracelet. I'm wearing one in solidarity with you, look at this. Chris brought that back. John, thank you.
[Berman:] Thank you.
[Pereira:] It's been wonderful to have you right there telling the stories.
[Berman:] It's been wonderful to be here, I have to tell you, to see so much of this over the last year. Today really is the best moment of all. Michaela, thanks so much. "Legal View" with Don Lemon starts right now.
