Darian Locklear will be remembered as many things: bright, warm, kind, athletic and beautiful. But she was shy, too. Or as her mother phrased it with a laugh, โjust a little socially awkward.โ Even as a teenager, Darian was uncomfortable doing things like ordering at a restaurant.

The family knew the teen was being bullied, but they didnโt know it was happening to such a serious extent. Darianโs kindness had gotten her through a very dark time. Darian didnโt become best friends with everyone she encountered, but she was kind -- every day. At one 5K event, โDarianโs Kindness Warriorsโ gathered more than 100 participants and raised more than $14,000 in a matter of weeks. Now, thereโs even Dash for Darian -- a 5K for Kindness, which will raise money for the Darian Locklear Kindness Scholarship.
