  • Marin Morrison (* 19. Juni 1990 in Great Falls, Montana; † 2. Januar 2009) war eine US-amerikanische Schwimmerin. Morrison verbrachte ihre Kindheit unter anderem in Lansing, Michigan und Jacksonville, Florida. Februar 2005 wurde bei Morrison ein Gehirntumor, einer seltenen Kombination aus Astrozytom und Gangliogliom, diagnostiziert. Nach drei Operationen im Verlauf des Jahres, sahen sich die Ärzte außerstande den gesamten Tumor zu entfernen. Infolge der dritten Operation war Morrison nun rechtsseitig gelähmt und litt unter Aphasie sowie Apraxie. Anfang 2006 zog die Familie in die Nähe von Seattle und Morrison begann eine experimentelle neue Chemotherapie, die ihren Krankheitsverlauf verlangsamte. Sie besuchte die Eastlake High School in Sammamish und setzte ihre sportlichen Aktivität als Schwimmerin fort. 2008 wurde sie in die paralympische Mannschaft der Vereinigten Staaten aufgenommen. Trotz einer, kurz nach ihrer Aufnahme nötig geworden, vierten Operation im Mai setzte sie ihr Training fort und nahm bei den Sommer-Paralympics 2008 in Peking an drei Wettbewerben teil. (de)
  • Marin Morrison (June 19, 1990 – January 2, 2009) was an American para-swimmer who competed at the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing. She began swimming at age two and started to suffer from seizures at that age after a child kicked her head. Morrison broke two school swimming time records as a freshman at Collins Hill High School, and was third in the 100-yard freestyle competition at the Georgia state Class AAA championship in early 2005. She fell ill afterward, and a large benign tumor was found in her left temporal lobe, of which 30 percent was removed by surgeons in two consecutive operations. However, ill health continued to affect Morrision, and a third surgery to remove an aggressive returning tumor caused the paralysis of the right side of her body and a speech impediment. Nevertheless, she established two national records in the S5 category, and qualified for the 2008 Summer Paralympics at the 2008 US Paralympic Swimming Trials, where she did not medal. An annual award and foundation were named after Morrison following her death. (en)
