My team
My Story…
This year, I have been asked to participate in Run Against Violence that will run from the 30th of August until the 17th of September. The goal is for teams of up to 20 people to complete the 1300km course within 19 days while being able to spread awareness of Domestic Violence in Australia.
Why do I believe this is so important?
Australian studies have shown the 1 in 6 females are in a domestic relationship and 1 in 16 males are. This year I am running for one of my closest friends who is one of the strongest and most inspiring women I have met. 15 years of Domestic Violence and 6 kids later, they are out safely and are passionate about bringing conversation to the topic. This family have become extended family to me and watching these children grow into such independent, strong, creative and funny personalities is an inspiration knowing what they have already witnessed so young in their lives. I will never be able to show how proud I am of them, so hopefully by being a part of this team we can help shed light on how common DV is and how important awareness is.
