LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Bullitt County family who lost their daughter to fentanyl is hosting an event to raise awareness about the opioid.
The event was started in honor of 23-year-old Morgan Lewis who died of a fentanyl overdose in February last year.
There will be speakers, resource tables, music, bounce house, splash pad, playground and food trucks. There will also be a short walk honoring the lives of loved ones who were lost to fentanyl.
"Please come celebrate Morgan’s birthday with us," said Laura Thurman, Morgan's mother. "We will be educating and spreading awareness of fentanyl and overdose. We will have resource tables to help those in need and celebrate those in recovery and love and support those who have lost someone."
The second annual Morgan’s Mission event is happening Sunday, which would have been her birthday. It's from 1 to 5 p.m. at Mt. Washington Wesbanco Amphitheater.
A Bullitt County family is leading conversations about the dangers of fentanyl.
