On November 22nd, Joseph Schönberger, TK-3699 (aka "F16WarBird") from Garrison Tyranus, will be running in the Philadelphia Marathon to raise money for the Make A Wish foundation. 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 is 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.
