Patrick Clancy ran the 26.2 mile race while wearing the names of his children -- Cora, Dawson, and Callan -- on his bib, and wearing an item that belonged to each child: A hair bow of 5-year-old Cora's, a wristband of 3-year-old Dawson's and a bracelet of 7-month-old Callan's, he told WCVB-TV, the ABC station in Boston. "They were my motivation," Clancy said of his kids in an interview with WCVB-TV after the race. "It was therapeutic. It was purpose. I knew we could make a big difference and we did, so it was good." Clancy's wife and the mother of their three children, Lindsay Clancy, is facing murder and assault charges related to the deaths of the children last January. On the day of the incident, Jan. 24, 2023, police received a 911 call just after 6 p.m. ET from a man who said his wife had attempted suicide by jumping out of a window at their house. First responders subsequently found three young children, a 5-year-old girl, a 3-year-old boy and a 7-month-old boy, inside the home "unconscious with obvious signs of severe trauma," Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz said at the time.
