But McKenzie’s story is not one of defeat, it is one of courage, resilience, and triumph. Now in its 3rd year, the McKenzie Strong 5K Walk & Run was created to celebrate her incredible journey of overcoming adversity while giving hope to families facing similar battles. What began as a heartfelt mission has already made a real impact. Last year, our goal was to raise $2,500, but thanks to the power of community, we proudly surpassed that goal and donated $5,000 to the American Stroke Association. This year, we’re aiming even higher. Our 2026 goal is to raise $10,000 to support families affected by stroke and help provide resources, encouragement, and hope when it’s needed most. Join us for the McKenzie Strong 5K Walk & Run and be part of something bigger than a race. Every step taken is a step toward healing, strength, and changing lives. Together, we are stronger. #McKenzieStrong
