Here is your invitation to join my virtual run with all the details you will need! I am working on a new custom medal for this years race!! Here’s the preliminary design:
Why: Whether you are a runner or not, we can all understand that human trafficking is a cause worth supporting. Through rescuing and education, Hope for Justice (formerly known as Abolition International) is making strides to end this terrible travesty.
Scary statistics (taken from the Polaris Project):
- In 2013, the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline, operated by Polaris, received reports of 3,609 sex trafficking cases inside the United States. Find more hotline statistics here.
- In 2013, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children estimated that 1 in 7 endangered runaways reported to them were likely sex trafficking victims.
- Globally, the International Labor Organization estimates that there are 4.5 million people trapped in forced sexual exploitation globally.
When: The weekend of February 21-22, 2015. Whether you are already running the Gasparilla Distance Classic or not – who doesn’t love more bling!
What: I will be running the Gasparilla a Distance Classic with Team Freedom for Hope for Justice – join me wherever you are!
