Second National Campaign for Youth Justice 5K Run Walk. Thanks Goes to Vicky Gunderson for organizing Wisconsin’s Second Campaign for Youth Justice Run/Walk for Youth Justice on Sunday, October 16 in Onalaska. Approximately 60 community members participated in the run/walk and had the chance to learn more about why youth should not be held in adult jail/prison. The event, covered by WXOW in La Crosse, was also an opportunity for community members to remember Kirk Gunderson, Vicky’s son who at age 17 committed suicide while in the adult jail in La Crosse in 2006. You can learn more about this important issue through the Campaign for Youth Justice.
