\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMORE FORECAST THAT\u2019S COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. ALL RIGHT, JOE, THANK YOU. WELL, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE IN DOWNTOWN AND ON THE NORTH SHORE THIS WEEKEND FOR A NUMBER OF RACES, INCLUDING THE FIVE K AND THE KIDS MARATHON. LET\u2019S HEAD BACK OUT TO PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER CARLOS FLORES, WHO WAS AT THE STARTING LINE ALL MORNING LONG FOR US. CARLOS 830 WAS THE LAST BIG CORRAL. WE\u2019VE GOT MORE EVENTS, THOUGH, HAPPENING HERE SOON. THAT\u2019S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, LILY. IT\u2019S GOING TO GET GOING HERE AT 930. THE KIDS MARATHON, OF COURSE, A CULMINATION OF WEEKS AND WEEKS OF WORK FOR ALL THESE YOUNG KIDS AND ALL COMING TO A HEAD RIGHT HERE TODAY TO RUN THOSE 26.2 MILES IN COMPLETION. NOW, OF COURSE, WE\u2019VE BEEN TELLING YOU AMAZING STORIES ABOUT WHY PEOPLE ARE RUNNING TODAY AND HOW IMPORTANT IT REALLY IS. AND I HAVE ANOTHER GREAT ONE FOR YOU. I\u2019M HERE WITH QUINN AND HER MOM, JULIE, WHO ARE RUNNING THE KIDS MARATHON TODAY. AND OF COURSE, THEY\u2019RE FILLED WITH EXCITEMENT. WHAT MAKES THIS SO INTERESTING IS THAT QUINN HERE ACTUALLY HAS BEEN RAISING MONEY IN THE PROCESS FOR THE ALZHEIMER\u2019S ASSOCIATION IN HONOR OF HER GRANDFATHER, WHICH I THINK IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. NOW, QUINN, TALK TO ME. WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS? I WANTED TO DO THIS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE OTHER PEOPLE DESERVE TO GET LIKE, MOST OF LIKE THE THINGS THAT, LIKE, OTHER PEOPLE DESERVE. AND I JUST FELT LIKE DOING IT. NO, AND THAT\u2019S, THAT\u2019S A GREAT ANSWER. NOW, WHEN YOU DECIDE TO KNOW THAT YOU\u2019VE RAISED OVER $1,500 TOWARDS RESEARCH, THAT\u2019S A LOT OF MONEY. LIKE TO KNOW THAT IT\u2019S GOING TO GO TO PEOPLE IN NEED OR GOING THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE ALZHEIMER\u2019S. HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE VERY LIKE, GLAD. I\u2019M JUST I\u2019M SURPRISED HOW I ACTUALLY GOT IT UP TO THAT NUMBER. AND TO KNOW THAT IT\u2019S GONNA HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND I KNOW, LIKE YOU\u2019RE DOING THIS IN HONOR OF YOUR GRANDFATHER, HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL, KNOWING THAT YOU\u2019RE HONORING YOUR GRANDFATHER THIS WAY? PRETTY HAPPY. AND EXCITED THAT OTHER PEOPLE GET TO HAVE MORE THINGS THAN LIKE OTHER PEOPLE. AND THEY GET LIKE AN EVEN AMOUNT, AMOUNT OF LIKE OTHER PEOPLE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, AND JUST MAKES ME HAPPY THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE GETTING TREATED THE RIGHT WAY THAT LIKE OTHER PEOPLE ARE TOO. THAT\u2019S PERFECT. NOW, NOW, JULIE, TALK TO ME. WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION KNOWING THAT SHE\u2019S BEEN ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND JUST BE ABLE TO RAISE AS MUCH MONEY? AT FIRST, IT WAS JUST I WAS FLABBERGASTED BY IT. BUT I\u2019M SO PROUD OF HER, SO PROUD OF ALL THE KIDS THAT ARE RUNNING TODAY. I THINK IT\u2019S A GREAT THING THAT WE\u2019RE DOING.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
