This April, in honor of National Sexual Assault Awareness Month and National Child Abuse Prevention Month, Lauren’s Kids will embark on its eleventh annual Walk in My Shoes 1,500-mile trek across Florida.
Beginning in Key West March 31 and concluding in Tallahassee May 1, Lauren’s Kids founder and CEO and former Florida State Senator Lauren Book will lead the month-long journey, walking up to 25 miles each day. The walk will stop in Boca Raton April 6.
