Honoree: Marty Betts
Marty had contributed her
time and talent to the For Women Only race for the last 10 years by
providing the distinctive graphic designs for the race. Her beautiful
and powerful artwork expresses the significance of fitness in the lives
of women. She says she feels very fortunate to exercise BOTH of her
loves...the creative arts AND the art of running. Running has been
central focus for her, and it has helped her tremendously in all other
facets of her life. She reports that the friendships and bonds created
through running have been life-changing.
