Stacey is running this marathon in memory of her Uncle Sonny and Copper Fire Chief Dennis Powers, both taken away by diseases with no cure.
This is Stacey's second marathon. Her first was the Nike Woman's Marathon '09 in San Francisco.
To aid in her efforts, a local family has donated a hand stitched king top quilt to raffle for the cause. The quilt was made in the late '60's by Edie Cody, a gift for her son. It is completely cross stitched, and then hand quilted. It is a one-of-a-kind. The quilt will fit the top of a Cal King.
The quilt is on display in the Copperopolis library where tickets are available for purchase; 6 for $5.00 or $1.00 each.
