holds a charity run
to honor her son Kile
Glover who passed
away more
than a
year ago. The event
takes place on
Saturday, November
30 at Chastain Park
in Atlanta. Raymond
wants to raise some
money for the Kile's
World Foundation's
art initiatives and
upcoming camps with the event.
"I know when I'll be running, I will be thinking of him,"
Raymond told Associated Press of her son who died aged
11 after being run over by a personal watercraft.
Raymond added that the event, which will be attended by Lil Wayne 's
ex-wife Antonia "Toya" Carter and Cynthia Bailey from " The
Real Housewives of Atlanta ", would be fun.
"[It is] not super competitive. People will be running and
walking, including myself. I'll be mixing the two. I'm sure
some will be able to work off some of the calories from
Thanksgiving," she explained jokingly.
Raymond added that her ex-husband Usher would not be
able to participate because of his filming schedule. "It's
safe to assume that he's supportive in my efforts. He loves
Kile. I think he's supportive," she said. Usher is currently
working on a movie called " Hands of Stone " alongside
Robert De Niro and Edgar Ramirez.
Raymond, who has two children with the Grammy-winning
singer, said of her late son, "I'm thinking about him every
day, but he was my running buddy. That's who I used to do
my neighborhood jogs with all the time. He would be the
only one who would be like, 'Let's go, mom.' He kept me
going."
