“End the Violence One Step at a Time”

Why do we walk?

We walk for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and child abuse. We walk to show survivors that they are not alone.

1. In the US, 20 people per minute are abused by a domestic partner. That equates to more than 10 million women and men a year.
2. Every 73 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted; and every 9 minutes, that victim is a child.
3. Only 3% of human trafficking victims are ever identified.

* Announcement: If registered after 8/16/2021, our event's Free T-Shirt is not guaranteed. Sizes and quantities will be limited and we will do our best to get you the size you ask for. For registrants after 8/16/2021, shirts are on a first come/first served basis.
