The Morris Woman’s Club is hosting its annual Superhero 5K Run at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 25, leaving from the Grundy County Courthouse.

This year’s beneficiary is the Heart of a Hero Award, a scholarship created in memory of Alexxis McKerrow, according to the morrissuperherorun.org.

McKerrow was a caring and compassionate young woman, reads the website.

“She was a truly a gift and a blessing to her family, friends and everyone fortunate enough to know her.”

The scholarship will be awarded to a student who shows true heroism through empathy, acceptance and everyday kindness, who exemplifies the values Alexxis lived by: compassion, resilience and the courage of being true to oneself.
