The Shirts Off Their Backs: Runners Honor Boston Victims

Like many runners around the country today, North Texas residents are showing their support and honoring the victims of yesterday's tragedy at the Boston Marathon. Through social media channels like Twitter and Facebook, runners in groups like the Dallas Running Club are calling on their cohorts to wear one of their race t-shirts today.

If you're one of those runners, we want to see your shirt -- and how you're honoring the folks killed and hurt Monday. Email a photo to schavez@kera.org, or post an image on our Facebook page.
