🕊️ In Memory of Lily Alyscia Ledbetter

The Warriors for Freedom 5K race is in memory of Lily Alyscia Ledbetter. Lily's dream was to graduate from Auburn University's School of Building Science. In 2022, Lily went to St. John, USVI for an internship with a local developer. Tragically, Lily's life was suddenly cut short while living in St. John. The circumstances surrounding Lily's death were linked to exploitation and possible trafficking, and the investigation is ongoing. The goal for the race is to raise money for victim services and raise awareness of sex trafficking, happening right here in our Alabama communities.

🛡️ About Worthy Squared

Worthy Squared (originally named Redeem AL) was established in 2018 and is dedicated to advocating for adult and minor females who have been exploited through commercial sex, or sex trafficking. Our mission is two-fold and focuses on two strategic points: Prevention & Intervention. We believe that to eradicate commercial sexual exploitation, or sex trafficking, it is critical to prevent it from happening in the first place - to be proactive rather than reactive. We believe through education, awareness and training, it is possible to stop the grooming, and eventual sexual exploitation, of our children and youth. Our team compassionately guides and mentors survivors as they navigate exiting a life of exploitation and begin a new life of renewal and restoration. Our hope is that they find their true FREEDOM and the faith to dream again...because they are WORTH IT!
