Hundreds of people participated in this year’s annual Walt Kyle Mile walk/run Saturday morning in Marquette. The event raises money for cancer patients at the Beacon House, shown in the background on North Third Street. Kyle is the head hockey coach at Northern Michigan University and a two-time cancer survivor. This year, a 5K, “The Dash,” was added to the fundraiser in honor of Kristin O’Halloran, who lost her battle with cancer at the age of 26. She was first diagnosed at age 7.
