1200 miles for Pancreatic Cancer

Morgan Hanna started running to support her Grandfather in his fight against pancreatic cancer.  Unfortunately, we learned through her Facebook page that her Grandfather lost his battle this evening.  


"The greatest person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing passed away today. My grandpa fought his battle for a year and 6 months, and as he said, 'I did it my way.' I'm so proud to call him my grandpa. His funeral is Saturday, November 6 and I would love to have 600 likes by then! Please share my page, and thank you all for the support."

Too many of us understand the heart break she is experiencing right now.  But her story is too inspiration not to share.  She is a teenager who went to war against cancer, and when her Grandfather passed tonight, she was only 15 miles from reaching her 1200 goal.  She should be very proud and I know her dedication and passion inspires us all to continue the fight.
