Project Outrun benefits Akron Children's patients and others

Inspired by Kylie Rose Jacobs and the 5K race her family started to help her "outrun" cancer, Andy Shepperd founded Project Outrun to outfit kids battling cancer with custom running shoes. He's put 59 kids into shoes so far, including many at Akron Children's.
