Three Routt County families are headed home from running in the Chicago Marathon this past weekend. They were on a team called Windy City Angels, which raises awareness and funds that help families affected by Angelman’s Syndrome, which is a rare condition. Welcome back to Candy Granger and Sam Underhill, Deanna and Dave McCurdy, and Xavier Knott and his mom, Ginger Johnston. They all ran to raise money for the Angelman’s Syndrome Foundation. Johnston wrote, “The support from the crowd was intoxicating. It was a completely out-of-sorts experience to be encouraged by so many people during every step of the way and running this race for the ‘angels’ in our lives made it that much more meaningful for us all.”
