WACO, Texas — Non-profit organizations are coming together to host a Walk-a-Thon to support mothers who have lost children to gun violence.

The Walk-A-Thon will be hosted by HER Skin, a Texas non-profit dedicated to the empowerment of women, in partnership with the Montrell Phenix Stop the Violence Foundation.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit three Waco women who lost their sons to gun violence — Paula Crain Peoples, Shelia Hiliard, and Alicia Gully. A portion will also go back to the HER Skin Foundation for future efforts to provide resources for women.

The walk is scheduled for Feb. 25 at 10 a.m. at McLane Stadium.

Pre-registration is $25, while day-of registration will be $30.

More information and registration can be found on the HER Skin Foundation website.
