Friends, family members and the community gathered at the Webb family home to kick off the third annual Finley’s Fast Feet Walk/Run on Saturday, March 16.
Held in honor of Finley Webb, who passed away four years ago, the event raises funds for the SUDC Foundation. This nonprofit organization “is the only organization worldwide whose purpose is to raise awareness, fund research and serve those affected by sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUDC).”
SUDC is a category of death assigned by a medical examiner or a coroner for children ages one through 18 when no other cause of death can be found following an investigation, including an autopsy. Currently, there are no known causes of SUDC, nor are there known ways to prevent it.
Participants in Finley’s Fast Feet walked to Boone Park, where they tied remembrance ribbons to Finley’s tree.
March is SUDC Awareness Month. More information about SUDC and the foundation can be found at sudc.org.
