Hundreds Show Support for 2013 Strawberry Stroll in Norcross

The Norcross 5K and festival was held Memorial Day weekend to benefit Kingdom Kids.

Runners of all ages showed their support Saturday (May 25) at the 2013 Strawberry Stroll, a 5K run and festival in Norcross' Thrasher Park.

Hosted by RockTenn, the third annual event benefits Kingdom Kids, a non-profit organization founded in Norcross that is similar to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Kingdom Kids aims to assist families who have children suffering from anything such as cancer to abuse.

"We do a lot of Disney trips and room makeovers," said Lauren Hutchinson, who's on the Kingdom Kids team and is also the wife of founder Justin Hutchinson. "On the smaller basis, we do a lot of iPads because it helps them stay engaged and there's a lot occupational therapy that can be done off of an iPad, and it helps them communicate."
