Alexus Williams is the organization’s director. Upon learning that Officer Burks was shot and killed Thursday night, the news was profoundly difficult to process.“He told me, ‘Hey man I love what you’re doing. This is dope.
Murdaugh and Williams have known what the rest of the world is now learning; that health and wellness was a lifestyle for Burks. So, it only made sense to organize a run to honor his life.“Be together, celebrate each other, because you just never know the day you’ll blink and somebody who’s been running next to you for years could be gone,” said Murdaugh.
The memorial run will take place at 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 14 at Fair Oaks Park. Runners are encouraged to wear purple.
