Kilometers 4 Katie
Folks,
On November 22nd, I will be running in the Philadelphia Marathon to raise money for the Make A Wish foundation. I'm running in memory of Katie Johnson and will run in Stormtrooper armor because Katie was a huge Star Wars fan and would've loved it. Of course, I will be wearing full highland garb along with the armor. 
I'm spearheading an international campaign called “Kilometers 4 Katie”. Its purpose is to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and to raise awareness of the organization and all of the fantastic work they do to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions and provide them with hope, strength, and joy. The Philadelphia Marathon is just the beginning.
“Kilometers 4 Katie,” or “Km4KT” for short, is a group whose mission to encourage individuals to participate in events in their own towns as a member of Team: Km4KT. We may be geographically separated, but that doesn’t mean aren’t unified.
I know that one person can make a difference in the lives of others.
One person already has made that difference, and her name was Katie.
For those interested in this project here is a link to our site http://www.km4kt.com/
So if you happen to be in Philly on November 22nd and see a kilted stormtrooper running you'll know why!
