Easton Woman Runs Challenging Relay To Battle Multiple Myeloma EASTON, Conn. – Four years ago, the thought of running 198 miles was as foreign to Easton’s Megan Mary Parker as the moon. Her mother’s battle against Multiple Myeloma sparked an interest in running, and this past weekend she traveled with 11 women to Maryland to run in the Ragner Relay. “I started running for her,’’ said Parker, whose mother, Joan, died Nov. 15, 2010 from Multiple Myeloma. “I had never run a mile, at least not on purpose. I found out about the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, and I told my mom it could be fun to have a 5k team that ran to support the charity. A 5k wa…
