LEWIS CENTER, Ohio (WCMH) -- This year will mark the third time Lewis Center resident Jason Homorody has ran the Boston Marathon, but this time, he's already won a battle before he hits the streets of Beantown for the iconic race.
Last summer, after finding out his wife Stephanie had breast cancer, he made the decision to run this year with a fundraising goal in mind. His biggest hurdle? Raising the marathon's minimum of $5,000 to qualify for charity -- or so he thought. The initial funding was raised almost immediately and has not slowed down.
The biggest victory of all is expected later this year when doctors expect Stephanie to be cancer free.

After some early morning frost, today will turn into a nice day across the Miami Valley. Expect some high clouds to roll into the area by this afternoon. The northern Miami Valley will see more clouds, while further south, we will see more sunshine. Remember sunscreen if you will be outside today for any length of time. Also, allergy sufferers, tree pollens are running high. Particularly ash, elm and oak trees. Mold spores are low, while grass and weed spores are absent.
Students from across the nation, Canada and the Netherlands have traveled to the Miami Valley for Winter Guard International's annual Percussion and Winds Championships.
