Runners and walkers provide
inspiration 
  he
Kids at Heart Marathon Team has raised nearly $3 million since it
was formed seven years ago funds that support patient care, research,
community health and medical education.
This year, the team is dedicating its efforts to Katie
Lynch, a former Children’s patient and employee who
conquered her own marathon achievement two years ago by walking
the first 26.2 feet of the race. Katie died in October at the age
of 27, but the memory of her energy and positive attitude inspires
the team.
