About the Laurel House 5-K…by LaVerne Scheetz

I’m not sure how it happened, but I found that I had been lured into “running” in the Laurel House 5-K run against domestic violence. I am not a runner; I am on Medicare, for Pete’s sake, and have never competed in a race in my life! Well, once it was “out there,” I had to follow through. One of my fellow Rotarians, a real runner, who also entered in the race, offered to send me a web based link to a training program. And so I trained in the short time between commitment day and race day. My physically fit military son said he would run with me. Did I mention he ran the Marine Marathon in DC?

The day of the race was a beautiful, picture perfect October day. My son stayed with me and we finished in 47 minutes (he usually runs an eight-minute mile!). How kind he was – to trot along with me at my pace. We crossed the finish line – not last by a long shot- but just shortly before the four-year-old girl behind us!

Ah, the thrill of victory! The victory was simply that I had finished the race. I must say, it felt good. Really, really good.

The agency’s first program, a domestic violence shelter for abused women and their children, was founded in 1980. In 1981, Laurel House was incorporated as an independent nonprofit organization. Since that time, the agency has grown to include a wide array of community outreach programs and supportive services.
