When Dru Sjodin, a 22-year-old Pequot Lakes native and University of North Dakota student, first went missing on November 22, 2003, her family and friends hoped and prayed for her safe return. Nearly five months later, after countless hours of searching, Dru's body was discovered in a ravine just outside of Crookston, Minnesota. The shreds of hope to which so many were clinging vanished as news of the discovery spread. Six days later, more than 1,500 people gathered at her funeral to say goodbye to their beloved Dru.
Help to celebrate Dru's life by running or walking on this special day. Your support can make the difference!
