Sunday’s forecast: sunny & 100% chance of hundreds of dogs & their owners walking to save lives

The annual Strut 2 Save Lives starts at 10 a.m. Sunday at Dr. James A. Dillon Park, 6001 Edenshall Lane, Noblesville.

Nearly 200 people are registered for the walk, and more are expected to show up Sunday morning to participate.

This community event includes fun for families, pets included. Participants will start the day with a one-mile walk with their pups to honor all organ donors and celebrate the gift of life.

Walkers will then stay to enjoy food and beverages from local favorites and visit booths highlighting local businesses and organizations. Indiana Donor Network and Donate Life Indiana will provide family-friendly activities and a raffle with great prizes for dogs and humans.

The walk honors donor hero Bryan Clauson. A Noblesville native, Clauson was a race car driver and organ and tissue donor. He saved five lives and enhanced the lives of more than 75 people across the country. Clauson was also an avid dog lover, and his family and friends continued their annual dog strut to honor of him and all organ donors.

All proceeds from the event benefit the Indiana Donor Network Foundation Bryan Clauson Legacy Fund, which provides financial assistance to the families of organ donor heroes and transplant recipients and their families.
