Gibbons run kicks off

An annual ABC7 fundraiser will be held later this month. But the kickoff was held Friday night. The gathering was held to celebrate the memory of our former colleague, Jim Gibbons, and to raise awareness about an upcoming event in his honor.

He died from leukemia 15 years ago. So for the 14th year, the Jim Gibbons 5k Run, 3k Walk and Survivors' Strut will be held June 19. And it raises money for leukemia research.
