Help me raise money to support Walnut Avenue Family & Women's Center of Santa Cruz

For the past 9 years I have participated in the pinkest run ever,the She is Beautiful.I’ve run most with friends and one or two alone, it is a must for me.I look forward to this run all year long, the positivity, laugh, camaraderie and empowerment felt is amazing!But my main reason for participating in the She is Beautiful is because of the Walnut Avenue Family & Women's Center www.wafwc.org.Their work with domestic violence survivors is what has been my drive to participate and recruit my sisters and friends to run. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will have experienced some sort of "domestic violence" in their lifetime, so odds are you may know someone other than me. Organizations like the WAFWC are crucial to victims and survivors, so by donating you will not only be helping me reach my goal, but you'll also be helping someone in need of the services the WAFWC provides.Thank you for reading my story & please donate!
