William's Run is a running race on April 17, 2027 in Bossier City, LA.
From the Organizer
On March 7, 2025, my 23 year old son, Army Sergeant, and Caddo Parish Sheriff's Deputy, William Graham Henderson, took his own life. No warning, no signs, no note left behind.
He suffered in silence, as many do. This run is for awareness. Awareness that mental health struggles are real. It destroys lives, families and hope for something better.
Come join my husband and me, and our children, in supporting William's Run. Let's take this to the next level, together, to help make one another better.
More details to come. If you're interested in being a sponsor, or vendor, please reach out to me via messenger. I'd love to speak with you!
