Organiser's Description
For over forty years, Alternative House (www.alternative-house.org) has been a cornerstone in providing comprehensive domestic violence services in the Greater Lowell area. Since our establishment in 1978, we have served thousands of survivors of domestic violence. Our array of services includes emergency shelter, a 24-hour crisis hotline, temporary safe housing, transitional/permanent housing, legal advocacy, supervised visitation services, community/housing advocacy, support groups, youth and teen programming, as well as daily access to case management, safety planning, and support around goal setting, financial empowerment, and job/educational placement.
Our Healing Steps Road Race is held to raise funds to benefit survivors of domestic violence. It is a meaningful and impactful event that brings people together for a common cause.
Along the way, volunteers cheer on the racers, offering water stations and encouragement to keep everyone motivated.
The importance of supporting survivors of domestic violence cannot be overstated. Domestic violence affects individuals and families in profound ways, causing physical and emotional harm that can have lasting effects. By participating in events like this road race and walk, communities come together to raise awareness, show solidarity with survivors, and raise funds for crucial support services such as shelters, counseling, legal aid, and advocacy.
The race's family-friendly nature is key to its success. It sends a powerful message that everyone, regardless of age or ability, can play a role in supporting survivors and working toward a future free from domestic violence.
Ultimately, the road race and walk for survivors of domestic violence is a testament to the strength of the community and the belief that positive change is possible when we come together with compassion and determination. It's a celebration of resilience, hope, and the collective effort to create a safer, more supportive world for everyone.
