This gentle 2-mile walk through Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is open to survivors and supporters of survivors. Together, we’ll walk in unity, raise awareness, and hold space for healing and resilience.
The theme is purple, the international colour for domestic violence awareness. Wear purple proudly, or add a simple hint of it (a scarf, ribbon, or accessory).

Why Walk?
Walking is both grounding and symbolic. With each step, we say no to silence and yes to strength, solidarity, and healing. This walk honours all those affected by domestic violence and celebrates the courage of survivors.
