Lisa Coleman, Executive Director of The King’s Daughters, said, “This year’s 13th annual RunWalk was special on many levels – we were once again able to enjoy collaborating with families, CHKD employees, friends, colleagues, and the community at large to come together in support of CHKD’s Mental Health Program. When The King’s Daughters learned that today more children die from suicide than cancer, cardiovascular disease, birth defects, pneumonia, flu, and chronic lung disease combined, we knew we must take action.”  She continued, “The day would not be complete without the company of great friends such as Marathon Consulting, presenting sponsors, as well as local vendors and many other sponsors who generously give so that we may make a difference.”
