Breaking the Silence: Running for Domestic Violence Awareness

You and I probably know someone who has suffered silently with domestic violence. It affects so many without ever being spoken about. Domestic violence goes beyond physical abuse; it includes emotional, financial, and sexual abuse. At its core, it is about a person trying to gain or maintain control over their partner.

My running journey started when I was in an abusive relationship, but running became a tool I used to discover my inner strength. Along with therapy, running gave me resilience and courage to leave the toxic cycle. As I prepare for the Chicago Marathon, I am dedicating my 26.2 miles to breaking the silence and encouraging others to do the same.

Run Domestic Violence Out of Town is a movement to offer support and empower survivors with the belief that change is possible. Together, we can break the cycle of domestic violence. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Please donate today and help change a life.

With love and gratitude,

Cristalle :)
