Officer Walks 50 Miles for Kids | Lexington News

Officer Jeremy Day, Fayette County’s new Kids’ Champion for September, turned heads this summer by walking 50 miles across all 29 elementary schools to raise over $12,000 for back-to-school essentials — shoes, clothes, backpacks for 60+ kids. Growing up in Lexington, he knows firsthand how vital community support is. Surprised by Interim Superintendent Bill Bradford, he’ll receive a formal salute from the school board and a $100 monthly award sponsored by Forcht Bank — plus $1,000 at year’s end for top champion. His story proves that when someone goes the extra mile, it changes lives. Nominate your own heroes on the FCPS website.
