Race for the Cure

General Conference Sunday, October 2, 2011, I was able to “Walk” in the Race for the Cure. I have been able to Run-Walk the Race for the Cure since 1996 – so – this is my 16th year. My first race was when we lived in Bettendorf, Iowa where I Ran-Walked the Race on Arsenal Island in Davenport, Iowa. My finish time was 36 minutes for the 5K Race. This year my time was about that for the two miles that I walked – I am babying my torn meniscus.

My inspiration is my sister, Suzan Morrell, who fought Breast Cancer that year so I am glad to Celebrate her life. Another Celebration in the Race is for one of my former Seminary students, Jaycee Taylor.

I also remember others that have any type of Cancer. I look forward each year to this worthwhile event!
