The 5K walk/run honors the memory of Deputy Ken Collier and continues the work he started in 2010 to save lives. Our goal is to raise awareness on the impact impaired driving can have on families after a loved one is killed by a drunk or drugged driver.
Why We Walk
Twelve years ago, Deputy Ken Collier was killed while trying to stop a driver who was drunk and high on drugs going the wrong way on SR-52 in Santee. His life was cut short robbing his family of a son, brother and fiancé. We also lost a treasured colleague. Impaired driving impacts two out of three people in their lifetime. Every hour, someone is killed in a DUI crash. There are real people behind these numbers. Together, we can stop drunk and drugged driving, as well as prevent underage drinking by simply walking.
All of the funds raised from the walk will help to educate youths and parents about the consequences of underage drinking and driving. Some of the money will be used to help victims or close loopholes in many existing laws.
