🌿Remembering Lala – Walking for Love & Healing

The Turkey Day Trot Stride for Peace is also inspired by Remembering Lala, honoring victims of domestic violence and supporting survivors on their journeys toward healing. The holidays can be difficult for many, and domestic violence reports increase by up to 30% during this season. By striding together, we raise awareness, offer support, and take steps toward a future where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered.
