Be a champion this summer!

Come join us as we pick up the pace for women and girls in the Louisville community with a walk and run across the Clark Memorial Bridge. Then help us celebrate at the festival that will include food, games and health screenings.

Her paintings have won numerous awards & accolades and she currently holds a Guinness World Record for the largest street painting by an individual.
