Every step you take honors the memory of Charlotte June Kinnear, a fearless twelve-year-old whose bright spirit, loving heart, and passion for being active touched everyone she met. After Charlotte unexpectedly passed away from a rare genetic heart condition, her family committed themselves to raising awareness and inspiring others to cherish every moment with those they love.
