Young stroke victim running for research

   Edna’s Lola Anderson is a sweet girl, a tomboy actually, who loves driving her 4-wheeler and her blue motorcycle, which is her favorite color. When Lola smiles, there's a small hole where her front teeth should be, and makes her all the more childlike. She does well in math, and especially likes to ride horses, fish and hunt – when she's not driving one of her trucks. Lola wants to be a police officer when she grows up, and has a baby brother named Tripp.
    And if you watched her play with Tripp, you'd never notice she had a stroke at 18 months. There's the tiniest limp when she walks, but her big smile and big eyes distract anyone immediately. That's why Lola’s parents, Bowen and Fairleigh Rose and Clint Anderson and Kimberly Brannan, and the four extended families attached to them are involved in a run in Lola’s name for pediatric stroke awareness so other parents can know what could happen to a child and the signs to look for.
