Cedar Rapids mother drives lead poisoning awareness drive
Cedar Rapids mother Leslie King raised funds in 24 hours to bring Lead Safe America Foundation head Tamara Rubin to the city for a lead poisoning awareness event at the public library. The gathering taught prevention, testing, and the dangers of lead exposure in children amid high local rates and a pending grant for abatement after years of work and expense.
