From the Organizer
Join us Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 10am–1pm at Geary Park in Ferndale, MI, for a walk/run created to honor, celebrate, and uplift.
This is more than a race. It's a moment to acknowledge the families who have lost a loved one to domestic violence, to celebrate the survivors who found their way to the other side, and to stand beside those who are in the middle of the hardest walk of all — leaving.
Every registration and donation directly funds real, immediate support for women escaping violent relationships: up to two weeks of temporary housing, food vouchers, and transportation to help them get safely to their next step.
Silence protects abusers. Strength protects survivors. This October, we walk to make sure no woman has to choose between staying and having nowhere to go.
Register today. Walk with us. Be someone's strength.
