She ran and ran
Did all she could
Took life by the hand
As we all should
She ran in his name
This woman who lost
Someone special of late
At a terrible cost
So she ran, she climbed
Raised money in his name
Much friendship did she find
In her heart did he stay
Then one day she ran again
The marathon of them all
Thirty years she was by then
When she did fall
Inspired many in a few days
By all she had done
Money and unity poured in great
So many joined in her last run
