The 10th Annual Hope Walk against All Violence is scheduled for Saturday October 4th beginning at 8 a.m. Once again, I'm asking my community to help me, help victims/survivors of Domestic Violence . Since the beginning of the COVID -19 epidemic Domestic Violence has increased in our community. Our victims need your support now more than ever. Our plan is to take a stroll across the Ravenel Bridge on the 4th of October. We're asking that you join us by walking in your communities in support of victims/survivors of Domestic Violence and Gun Violence.

Charleston's 10th Annual “Hope Walk 2025 Walk/Run against Domestic Violence" and Gun Violence, will be held on Saturday, October4th from 8:00am-11:00am beginning on the Charleston side of the Ravenel Bridge and ending on the Mt. Pleasant side of the bridge.

By committing to Walk or Run with us, or even if you prefer to support from home , you are directly helping to support vital advocacy services to those affected by domestic violence. With facts and statistics such as South Carolina ranks #6 on the list of states of men that M**der women, So it is vital that we stand up and do something. In fact, The Violence Policy Center says about two women are killed for every 100 thousand people, making our state’s death rate more than twice the national average full.

Your participation in this event will aid Palmetto Hope Network in being able to provide the necessary services to victims displaced by Domestic Violence through crisis intervention, emergency motel placement, food, safety planning and a wide range of other critically important supports to keep them safe and moving forward. Currently, for every five calls we may get in a weekend, we are not able to house all victims on our current budget.

It has been recognized that the most dangerous time for a victim is when they leave the relationship. 50% of injuries and 75% of domestic homicides occur after the relationship ends. It is very heartbreaking to turn away a victim that could not find shelter or another safe place to go.

This walk is for the many who can’t find help.
