Walkathon for Man Who Can't Walk

Raffles, fundraisers, and walkathons in lieu of health coverage.

Laurie Valenzuela is hoping hundreds of people will turn out this Saturday to walk for her older brother, who can no longer walk on his own.

Her brother, Keith Peterson, was left paralyzed from the chest bone down after the four-wheel ATV he was riding flipped over on him this summer.

 

Davie resident Laurie Valenzuela is organizing a 5k walkathon this coming Saturday to benefit her older brother Keith, who was paralyzed following an accident this summer. Here Keith, a a longtime South Florida resident, left, visits with grandson Austin, 6, at a rehab center in Atlanta where he is recovering.
