I Run For Her is an annual community event held by Got Your Back Sista, which aims to spark critical conversations around domestic violence on a national scale, and for the first time will host events across Australia on October 15.
Got Your Back Sista Founder, Melissa Histon, says, ‘Let’s talk about it, Australia. Let’s take a close look at prevalence of family and domestic violence and ask why in 2023 this is still happening’.
‘Let’s take practical steps to make our communities a safer place’.
You can run, walk, skip or even shuffle, wheel or dance – whatever you like – to the beach, the park, the lake, the shopping centre – wherever you like!
Your ‘run’ can be held in the morning, afternoon or evening – anytime you like – but preferably on Sunday 15 October and you can make your event as long, or as short, as you like – 500m, 1km, 5km, 10 kms or more or less – as far as you like!
