Madeline Ellingsworth, 10, of Findlay, Ohio, is squeezed between her mother and marathon runner Tim Borland behind the Peoria Riverplex as they embrace her in a hug following the completion of the AT Cure Tour fun run along the riverfront Wednesday evening. Borland is midway in his mission of running 63 marathons in 63 days to raise money and awareness for ataxia telangiectasia, a rare degenerative disease, from which Ellingsworth and 20-year-old Megan Mautino, who was also present, suffer.
