Upon completing the 24-Hour Run Challenge, Barnes will lead the 10K Runners at the 10th Annual Victory for Victims Walk/Run on Sunday at Lake Balboa. The run is to raise money to break the silence and stop child abuse by raising money and awareness for the Center for Assault Treatment Services (CATS).
