He’s running in memory of Katie Johnson and will run in Stormtrooper armor to increase visibility, and because Katie would've loved it. While it’s true that running in armor may no longer considered unique--at least within the Star Wars community--this effort is a little different.

Joe is spearheading an international campaign called Kilometers 4 Katie. Its purpose is to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and to raise awareness of the organization and all of the fantastic work they do to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions and provide them with hope, strength, and joy. The Philadelphia Marathon is just the beginning.

“Kilometers 4 Katie,” or “Km4KT” for short, is a group whose mission to encourage individuals to participate in events in their own towns as a member of Team: Km4KT. We may be geographically separated, but that doesn’t mean aren’t unified.

One person already has made that difference, and her name was Katie.
