NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A fundraiser has now started to place a bench on the Mill Creek Greenway in honor of Alyssa Lokits, who was shot and killed last fall.
Alyssa died Oct. 14 while running along the Mill Creek Greenway. Per the GoFundMe, her family is trying to raise $6,000 for the bench, which will go at the Mill Creek Greenway at the Old Hickory Trailhead.
The money is needed for purchase and installation, which has already secured approval.
Since her death, the Lokits family has been active in Nashville to keep her memory alive. They hosted a 5K in her honor and coordinated with Vanderbilt Project Safe Center to discuss outdoor safety while exercising.

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
