About the From Silence to Strength: A Walk to Acknowledge, Celebrate, and Support Survivors of Domestic Violence
This walk and run is held at Geary Park in Ferndale, organized around a cause rather than a course time. The route is a shared walk with people honoring those lost to domestic violence, celebrating survivors, and standing with those still finding their way out. The pace is beside the point; the reason for being there is not.
Registration fees and donations go directly toward emergency support for women leaving violent relationships, covering temporary housing, food, and transportation. The event draws people connected to the cause, not just runners looking for a PR, so the atmosphere reflects that.
