All four members of the Duggan family participated in the tenth annual Speedy Pd Race for Parkinson’s Disease on Saturday, Aug. 25, at Tuttle Creek State Park. Murphy Rose was delighted with her halfmile family fun run performance and celebrated with a delicious sno-kone at race headquarters. She looks forward to “her” race every year and I enjoy watching her determined face as she sprints toward the finish line.

   The event’s success can not only be attributed to the amazing support of the Manhattan community, but also to the leadership of Michelle Haub, Special Programs Leader; Doug Sellers, Race Director; and Becky Fitzgerald, Meadowlark Foundation Director.
