The idea for the Laps for Amy Larson 5K started with prayer. As a few students circled around after class at the start of the semester, they felt God leading them to do more. Minutes later, they were knocking on Saylo Lor’s door to ask about potentially starting a fundraiser. Within the weeks that followed, word of supporting Amy spread like wildfire across campus.

Although Amy was not able to make it back to campus this semester, she remains as much an inspiration as ever before. When she was diagnosed with Lymphoma this past June, I remember her humble and trusting response. Out of all the worry and anger that could have consumed her, she chose to be more concerned for others than herself.
