From the Organizer
The Unlock the Ties That Bind 5K Run & Walk is an empowerment and advocacy event organized by Going Into Pieces Movement Inc. It aims to support underserved and vulnerable populations, including men, human trafficking survivors, teen fathers, and individuals struggling with mental health challenges.
The event will take place on June 13, 2026, at Al Lopez Park in Tampa, FL, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Participants come together to symbolize resilience, healing, and the power of moving forward despite life’s obstacles. The event also helps generate support for the organization’s men’s emotional well-being initiative, 3rd Eye Anchored.
Men can and do experience sexual assault, human trafficking, and various forms of abuse. These issues often receive less attention due to societal stigmas, stereotypes, and misconceptions about masculinity. Many men struggle to speak out or seek help due to fear of judgment, lack of resources, or the misconception that abuse primarily affects women.
Raising awareness is crucial to ensuring survivors regardless of gender receive the support, protection, and justice they deserve. Events like Unlock the Ties That Bind 5K and initiatives focused on men’s emotional well-being help break the silence and create safe spaces for healing and advocacy.
