• Marathon runner’s death inspires $1M in donations: Donations to the charity supported by a 30-year-old woman who died during the London Marathon topped $1 million on Wednesday as thousands took up her cause. Claire Squires entered the race to raise money for an organization that helps prevent suicides and had collected about $800 online before she set off on the 26.2-mile course on Sunday. By Wednesday, the fundraising total in her name had reached $1.1 million with more than 60,000 donations. Squires collapsed near Buckingham Palace near the end of the race.
