Save the Children Kicks Off World Marathon

Today was the launch of the Save the Children’s World Marathon Challenge, a global relay in which teams of children from around the world will band together throughout the month of October to complete a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles. The events kicked off in the United States when Save the Children supporters in Westport, where the organization is headquartered, raced one another at Staples High School to raise funds and awareness for programs focused on child survival and well-being. Among those participating were the Klein family of Westport. Pictured are (front) Ben Klein, 9; Elliot Klein, 7, (back) Camilla and Tom Klein.  (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Suzanna Klaucke for Save the Children
