Community Pounds the Pavement in Honor of Robbie Levine

The sixth-annual Robbie's Run raises money to donate AEDs to little leagues.

When nine-year-old Robbie Levine collapsed after running the bases at baseball practice and passed away shortly after, his parents decided to do something that would help others.

The Robbie Levine Foundation, started by his parents Jill and Craig Levine, works to donate automated external defibrillators (AED) to little leagues - something that may have saved Robbie's life had there been one at the scene.

The annual Robbie's Run was developed to celebrate Robbie, while raising money for the foundation. Patch was there to cover the action. See what we saw through the view finder.
