The Reality of Sexual Abuse
Nearly every minute someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted. Every 9 minutes that someone is a child.
In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Romans 8: 37
Why We Walk
We walk to bring light to what is too often kept in silence. We walk to raise awareness, support survivors, break the silence, and build a stronger, more compassionate community.
Every step taken is a declaration: YOU matter and YOU no longer have to walk alone
Walking In Healing proceeds will directly support ongoing efforts through Renewed Pathways to bring healing, education, and resources to our community and beyond.
