Why should you Walk the Mile?

Walk The Mile demonstrates the strength of our community in standing against violence and sexual assault. The support we contribute will help survivors across our county.

When we envision a world without violence, we begin to build a path to creating that world. Help us raise awareness about violence, support survivors, and envision a world without violence!
