Why a 5k?

The 5K for Brandon Lee & Land Defenders run marks 5 years since Brandon survived the assassination attempt on his life. As Brandon continues to require funding for his long-term care, this 5K aims to garner awareness of Brandon Lee’s story, support his needs, and give solidarity to struggle of land defenders.
