CLEVELAND — Cleveland Marathon officials said Wednesday that they will present a medal to the family of Taylor Ceepo, the 22-year-old woman who collapsed Saturday during the race and later died.
The Cleveland Marathon said it would also be donating to the Children’s Miracle Network in Ceepo's memory on behalf of the marathon community for her work with the Walsh University Dance Team that supported Akron Children's Hospital.
Ceepo was an athlete from Medina and a recent graduate of Walsh University.
