Carrying on the Legacy of Karen Wilson --- A Doll For Every Girl

Karen Wilson had two passions in her life. One passion was running in 5K races. Karen ran in a 5K race in each of Kentucky's 120 counties. She just loved to be outside and run. Her other passion was to provide dolls to girls, especially those who came from challenging life situations. She would collect and purchase dolls and donate them to these girls.

This race is being orchestrated by Ambrose Wilson to honor his wife Karen and her legacy of good will. We'll be collecting dolls at the race and purchasing dolls with race proceeds and donations to donate in her memory.
