Notwithstanding politicians, ordinary people run for many reasons. Some are trying to lead a healthy life. Some use the time to clear their heads. Some are trying to lose excess pounds, especially after the holidays. But this weekend, Jennifer King will be running for much more.In July 2009, King’s son, Carson, was diagnosed with leukemia. King will be running the Walt Disney World Marathon to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, an organization that collects funds for research and education on blood cancers, as well as patient support for those dealing with blood cancer.
