"My father Jim Malarkey and I will be running the Hospital Hill Half Marathon in Kansas City on June 1, 2013. My father and I were at the Boston Marathon when the bombs exploded. I came over the finish line just before the blast and my father was cheering me on just across the street from the second explosion. Shocked, scared, and confused about what just happened we crossed paths with Barbara Pothier who graciously offered to help us out of a terrible situation by driving us back to our hotel in Cambridge. Her gesture of kindness in a time of need with forever stick with us. We are running the half marathon to raise money for the Ace Bailey Children's Foundation to thank Barbara Pothier for her kindness." ~ Kelly Parriott
