Let's run together to show that domestic violence is not tolerated in our homes or communities.

Domestic violence takes place in our nation every minute of every day, occurring just about every 15 seconds. Most Americans don’t realize just how real domestic violence is and how many lives are affected by it.

The Annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes 5K Walk/Run Against Domestic Violence is a symbolic gesture of families and communities walking together seeking to raise awareness, provide support and remember those affected by domestic violence.

All proceeds from the race benefit Sisters Empowerment Network, Inc. to continue our work to help end domestic violence against women and children.
