Organiser's Description
The Lace Up for Laura 5k walk/run fundraiser and Kids' Fun Run is a way to come together the last Saturday in June each year in celebration of Laura Cody McNaughton's life and her vision to bring health and wellness to all before she died in a tragic car accident on June 28, 2018. All proceeds support local high school scholarships, and thanks to our amazing participants and sponsors, ***weve awarded $50,000*** in local scholarships so far! It is intended to be a fun activity families can participate in together with runners and walkers of all abilities.
