Mike Moran in marathon for nephew
Mike Moran, a resident of Marion and a counselor at Hillsboro Elementary School, will be running Oct. 12 in the Chicago Marathon.
He is trying to raise money to offset some of the medical expenses incurred by the family of Rusty Anderson. Rusty has been diagnosed with bone cancer and is a nephew of Moran and his wife Paula. He lives in Antioch, Ill.
Anyone wanting to support Moran in his fundraising effort may donate a lump sum or pledge a per mile donation.
Moran has participated in many foot races during his adult life including half-Marathons at Kansas City and Indianapolis, Ind., but this is his first attempt at completing a full Marathon of 26.2 miles.
An account has been opened at Central National Bank in Marion and Hillsboro under the names of Rusty Anderson and Mike Moran. Donations may be made to the account or to Moran.
For more information, call Moran at 947-3981 or 382-2827.
