Mental health nonprofit honors late Floral Park mentor with 5K memorial
Eisenhower Park was filled with runners last Friday and for a good cause: Helping fulfill a dream of Raymond Morell, who died last year, likely from a 9/11-related cancer, at 54. Morell, a longtime Floral Park resident, dedicated over 15 years of his life to others through WellLife, a nonprofit supporting people with mental health challenges and developmental disabilities. As the facilities director and lover of historic buildings, he advocated for the preservation of those he came across in his life and work, including a rundown, historic two-story building owned by WellLife in Hollis, Queens.
