I ran in the Rex Lee Run today for my mom.The run has been going on for many years now in memory of former BYU President Rex Lee to raise funds for cancer research at BYU. When I was working as a nurse, I took care of Rex Lee when he was undergoing cancer treatments. Sadly, the cancer claimed his life, just like it took my mom's, but the work of the researchers at BYU has been effective in advancing treatment in the fight against cancer.
In the opening ceremony, I thought about my mom and my love for her and how I missed her and the tears flowed. As I ran, I felt so strong and good and at the end when I got so tired, I thought about my mom and all the others with cancer who suffer and fight and struggle when they think they can't bear it anymore.
I love you, Mama.....glad I could run in honor of you today.
