Tiffany Orshalick and Debbie Weiss


The Sugar Rush 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run held Saturday in Terrell was to benefit the Deborah Kay Foundation for colon cancer research. All proceeds were going to be donated to the National Cancer Institute to provide colon cancer research and awareness. To read more about the Foundation visit their website from the link on the sidebar.

Todays picture is of Tiffany Orshalick and her Mother Debbie Weiss. Tiffany created the Deborah Kay Foundation as a way to honor her mother, who is a colon cancer survivor. Tiffany did an excellent job organizing the race and appropriate it was held on Mothers Day weekend.

What a nice tribute to mom. I can't tell which one is the mom until I read your comments. Nice photography and a great job Tiffany.

I posted a picture of my furry mother for Mother's Day. She was so special we considered her part of our family.

A story meant to be shared on Mother's day for sure. Looks like there was a great turn-out for the race yesterday. I'm always just a little bit surprised at what great accomplishments one person can achieve. Great post!

A great idea and way to honor a loved one.

My father died of colon cancer. :-(

I used to be a runner, but I've gained to much weight and my health isn't great.
