Tying Peyton’s love of adventure and the outdoors together with a thrilling event that raises awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, attracts runners from across the country, and will help to fund our future work is a wonderful tribute to our daughter’s legacy, "Peyton's Mom and executive director of the Foundation, Julie Walker, said.
