October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) and our annual I Will Run for Them 5K awareness run & walk honors the resilience, strength and spirit of our Native relatives impacted by domestic violence.
Every year for our annual I Will Run for Them 5K run & walk we ask participants to share who they are running for and why. By asking folks to share their story, we are effectively asking them to connect their action of running to their own community. And it is through this connection we begin the process of healing.
Here are some quotes we like to share with you all as we count down to our virtual run.
We create space to honor survivors, cycle-breakers and our relatives who we have lost to violence.
We invite you to dedicate your run, jog, or walk to your loved ones affected by the imbalance violence creates.
