Amy decided to run the Los Angeles Marathon in honor of her patient.
I was absolutely touched by Amy's act of kindness for a patient who was afflicted with end-stage metastatic cancer. The patient, like Amy, was a marathon runner before her illness. The patient was distraught by the fact that she was unable to do outdoor activities. Amy decided to run the Los Angeles Marathon in honor of her patient. In addition, Amy gave her patient the medal from the LA Marathon. This selfless act showed an exceptional commitment to her patients and deeply moved this patient.
