Husband of Massachusetts mom Lindsay Clancy - who strangled their three kids in post-partum psychosis -  runs Boston Marathon in their memory to raise money for children's hospital

The husband of the woman who was has been accused of strangling their three kids to death while suffering with postpartum psychosis ran the Boston Marathon in memory of his late children today, raising over $70,000 for the hospital that treated them. 

Patrick Clancy completed the race in 3:59:19, crossing the finish line at around 3.15pm. 

Last January, his wife Lindsay strangled their kids - five-year-old daughter Cora, three-year-old son Dawson, and Callan in the basement of their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts on January 24, 2023. 

She tried to kill herself afterwards, slashing her wrists and jumping out of an upstairs bedroom window. Lindsay survived, but was paralyzed from the waist down and is still undergoing treatment. 

Patrick forgave his wife last year, citing her medical struggle. 

'In the short time there were here, my kids brought me so much joy and couldn't have made their dad prouder,' Patrick said on his donation page which has raised more than $72,000.

Lindsay was charged with the children's murders after they were discovered in the basement of their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts on January 24, 2023. She remains in Tewksbury Hospital after she harmed herself following the incident 

'In many ways, I’m just trying to be more like them. Their passion in life was infectious.' 

'With Cora, Dawson, and Callan in spirit, see you at the finish line,' he said in an update just before the marathon kicked off on Monday. 

Patrick said that the money raised through his fundraiser is set to go toward the 'very best medical care, breakthrough research and vital support services for sick kids and their families.' 

In October, Lindsay was being held without bail and committed to psychiatric care because she is 'at imminent risk of self-harm,' a judge ruled.

Judge William F. Sullivan ordered that Lindsay had to be held on psychiatric care at Tewksbury Hospital for six months during a court hearing conducted via Zoom. 

Dr. Karin Towers, a forensic psychiatrist reported during the arraignment that Clancy is experiencing 'unbearable depression and trouble getting through each day.' 

She pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and strangulation after she allegedly strangled her children with exercise bands. 

Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague provided additional details about the events of January 24, during which a fitness watch tracked Lindsay's path from the basement - where she alleged strangled her children - to the second floor. 

Investigative affidavits showed the mother cut her wrists and neck before jumping from the second-floor window.

Sprague said the curt were 'superficial' and did not require stitches, carrying doubt on how serious Lindsay's suicide attempt was. She added that the wounds were not bleeding by the time her husband had found her. 

Sprague mentioned that Clancy appeared to know who she is, emphasizing that there were 'no hallucinations or delusions' in Clancy's notes, where she documented her life and the lives of her children. 

A court document obtained by DailyMail.com revealed that she allegedly researched methods of killing before she took her children's lives and attempted to take her own. 

The mother, a labor and delivery nurse, was left paralyzed from the waist down and remains in the hospital. She was previously seen addressing the court from her hospital bed with a face mask on.

Investigators found bottles of diazepam, amitriptyline and trazodone, all antidepressants, from the family home on January 25. All three had been prescribed to Lindsay 16 days prior to the traumatic incident. 

An unsealed affidavit revealed that Patrick was in the basement when police had arrived to check on Lindsay and knew 'something was wrong because his children would not wake up.'

He approached the police and started screaming: 'She killed the kids!' as he made the discoveries, finding two of his children with band around their necks, turning their faces 'blue and purple.'

partum psychosis is defined by the National Institutes of Health as the severest form of mental illness in that category, and is characterized by extreme confusion, loss of touch with reality, paranoia, delusions, disorganized thought process, and hallucinations.' 

It usually occurs within the first six weeks after giving birth and 'warrants immediate medical and psychiatric attention and hospitalization if the risk of suicide or filicide exists.'

Chilling audio of the 911 dispatch call made by Patrick that night revealed the extent of the horror. 

He found his wife lying outside their home after returning from picking takeout food for the family. 

As first responders arrived on scene and tended to his wife, Patrick was heard screaming in the home's basement. 

There he found the children unconscious and blue with exercise bands around their necks. 

The state's chief medical examiner declared that the two older children had died of asphyxia, while little Callan had died from complications from asphyxia.  

Lindsay was arraigned on February 7 from her Brigham and Women's Hospital bed. Her next court date is scheduled for May 28.
