FORT WALTON BEACH — Bridgeway Center's 5th annual Lauren's Kids Walk in My Shoes fundraiser is 4-6 p.m. April 18 at The Boardwalk, 1450 Miracle Strip Parkway, Fort Walton Beach.
Lauren Book, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse who founded Lauren’s Kids, is walking her fifth and final 1,500-mile journey across Florida. This event raises awareness of childhood sexual abuse, encourages support and passage of legislation designed to protect children from sexual assault, and provides support to 42 million childhood sexual abuse survivors who live the United States.
This year’s walk coincides with BCI’s Beach Walk to promote sexual assault awareness and prevention to Okaloosa county residents and spring breakers.
