Working Woman: Run Lizzie Run!
March 31, 2017: WASHINGTON (ABC7) — Beloved realtor Nancy Dunning, wife of Alexandria Sheriff Jim Dunning, was shot and killed by Charles Severance in 2003. She was the first of three victims in Alexandria.
But to Liz Dunning, she was just Mom.
After Severance's conviction, Dunning decided it was time to do something special for her Mom. She realized the "Rock and Roll Marathon" would fall on her mother's 70th birthday.
She started writing a therapeutic blog called "Run Lizzie Run," and decided to raise money for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
On a freezing cold March morning, Liz ran those 26 miles for her mom and marveled at all the loved ones who came to support her.
