Kristy Taaffe was a lifelong resident of Struthers and a Struthers High School graduate. She was very active in the Struthers PTA as well as a devoted runner, having participated in numerous races including a full marathon. Kristy had a passion for children and planned use her involvement in the PTA to create more programs for the students of the Struthers school system to become healthier and physically fit. Tragically, Kristy passed away on unexpectedly on July 3, 2016, one day before the first 4th of July 5K which she was planning on participating in. The kids fun run is a way to honor Kristy for her devotion to our area children as well as bring to life her goal of helping the children of Struthers become healthier and physically fit.
