LEITCHFIELD-- "Walk all over SIDS" was a great success on Saturday, April 27. The weather wasn't as good as the organizers had wished, but there was still a huge turnout. The community support was unbelievable. Leitchfield Volunteer Fire Department and the Grayson County Sheriff's Department each brought a truck for the children to go through.

An auction started off the day and raised around $1700. At the end of the day, after all the walking was done and the money turned in, a check for $13, 500 was presented to Adrienne Grizzell, the executive director of the Kentucky SIDS Network. All that money will be used for education and research. The Robinson's were deeply touched by the support and love they were shown during the event. Hopefully the money raised will help save the lives of Kentucky infants.
