"I got a chance to meet Abdul and his family," she said. "They all are very kind, just a lovely family."
She looks forward to spending more time with the family in the future.
This program is full of people who are running in the memory and honor of someone with cancer, someone who has died of cancer, or for someone in the state of remission.
Aside from participating in this program, Moore has been active in many other organizations on and off campus as well.
Jenna Francisco, an English professor on campus is a member of the Social Responsibility Committee and says Moore is a fellow member of the committee also.
"She is very dedicated to the social justice of the environment, equal rights and the peace movement," said Francisco.
Francisco also says that Moore was the one responsible for the organization of the anniversary celebration of Brown vs. Board of Education.
"She brought in speakers from campus and also brought speakers from off campus as well," said Francisco.
Mathilde Mukantabana, a history professor on campus, agrees that Moore is very dedicated to promoting social justice.
"She was the first person to volunteer for the Save Darfur organization," said Mukantabana.
Mukantabana says that Moore is someone "we admire."
"She is a very nice colleague and just a great person to be around," she said.
Moore sincerely believes that all her fellow participants are "just very good-hearted people."
She says she has a list of people she is running in memory of, either people who have died of cancer, people who are living with cancer, or people who are in some state of remission.
"I am doing it all for them, this isn't about me," said Moore.
"Those are my people who I remember," she said. "I know this will be a great accomplishment because I am doing this for a wonderful cause."
