Caitlin and Cristin Shanahan want to boost awareness of the need for life\u002Dsaving transplants by running the Ottawa Marathon on Sunday.
The Shanahan sisters recognize that their story is somewhat unique amid all the others during the weekend’s two-, five- and 10-kilometre and marathon events in the sense that they aren’t fundraising. They are hoping it helps inspire action.
“It’s on the health card,” Cristin said. “Check the back, see if it’s up to date and if everything is the way you want it to be. Have conversations with loved ones. Even if it is in your will, family has a final say.”The support system around them is strong. Cristin, a behaviour analyst, and Caitlin, 26, who is wrapping up her master’s degree in social work at Carleton University, live at home with their father, Patrick.
The Shanahan sisters have a sports background — both grew up in the Kanata Girls Hockey Association and played for the Ottawa Lady Senators, and Caitlin served as captain at Princeton University — which has served them well in training for their first marathon.Article content
