On July 15, 2002, Erin Runnion’s daughter, Samantha Runnion, was abducted and murdered.

And now she has a message for you:
It doesn’t matter who you are.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been.

Empower our children to be brave.
Because when children are empowered, communities are stronger.
And together, we create a safer world.
