| R to L, Bethy, Megan's Mom and Megan at the 2010 Race for Research |
Megan Parker “wasn’t a runner at all” until her mom
was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. This Is Megan’s first marathon, and she
remembers her mom “wasn’t much or a runner or even a sports lady, for that
matter.” “I’m pretty sure she would have hesitations about me taking on a
marathon if she was still down here,” she says. Megan’s mom’s diagnosis brought
new kinds of uncertainty and fear to Megan and her family, but it was faith in
God that brought her family together and allowed them to support one another
with love. Megan is a fan of quotes, and though she admits that a quote alone
won’t sustain her for the 26.2 miles, her “race mantra” is: “Faith makes things
possible, not easy.” Megan never would have guessed she could run a marathon or
that her family would get through her mom’s diagnosis and her passing, but she
knows that with faith, anything is possible.
