Two Philadelphia Marathon Runners Died

So sad. After collapsing during the Philadelphia marathon, two runners have passed away.
Authorities are saying that it’s due to heart attacks.
The first of the runners was just 21 years old, and collapsed at the finish line. The other, a 40 year old, collapsed about a quarter of a mile from finishing.
They were rushed to the hospital, but couldn’t be saved.
It’s so sad to hear this, and even worse to hear that they were so close to being done with the race — and that much closer to reducing the strain on their bodies.
Our hearts go out to their families.
