The Liam Strong Charity Beach Run was created to honor our son, Liam Fredric Batten, who we lost at 6 months to childhood cancer. In the short time he was here, Liam inspired every person he touched in more ways than we can put into words. We want to honor Liam and give back to all of the doctors and nurses at N.C. Children’s Hospital that are so special to our family.
