DIAMONDHEAD -- The life and memory of 3-year-old William Lee Montjoy are inspiration for a marathon to help raise money for an educational foundation.
The marathon, scheduled for Feb. 13 in New Orleans, will include runners, joggers and walkers who will travel a 13.1 or 26.2 mile distance during the Rock 'n' Roll Mardi Gras Marathon or Half Marathon.
The run is sponsored by William's Wings, a community group numbering up to 150 people. Jennifer Schmidt, coordinator of the event, said the group includes people from Meridian and Bay St. Louis.
William was the son of Paul and Lea Montjoy, who have established the William Lee Montjoy Children's Educational Fund in their son's memory.
The 3-year-old died early afternoon of Sept. 25, 2010, when he drowned at the Pass Christian Yacht Club.
