». Canton Turkey Trot helps fight epilepsy

By Darrell Clem Staff Writer

B ridget M urray, a 47-year- old Canton woman who started having epileptic seizures as a teenager, has inspired count­ less runners and walkers while helping to make Canton's Thanksgiving morning TUrkey Trot fundraiser a success. She used to fire the starter pistol to begin the race. For the last few years, she has sat in a golf cart as runners pass by A her and wave. This Thanksgiving, M urray has been chosen to serve as the / first-ever grand marshal for the 11th annual TUrkey TVot for Epilepsy, which already raised nearly $83,000 during its first decade.

It's also a time when out-of- town fam ily mem bers may suddenly be con­ fronted with the declin­ ing health of a loved one. Those taking care of aging family m em bers are often unable to fully convey to those living far away the true needs of an elderly parent. So family gatherings are a good time to start the con­ versation about handling long-term health care needs. The first step should be gathering together all involved family m em­ bers, including the per­ son needing care.
