Turning Pain Into Power: Why I’m Running 100km to End Violence Against Women

This October I will be running 100km at the Blackall Ultra to raise awareness of workplace sexual violence and to support White Ribbon’s mission of ending violence against women.

As a paramedic I’ve spent my career caring for people in their moments of crisis - but recently I faced a crisis of my own. I experienced sexual violence in my workplace, an abuse of power that changed the course of my life and left me struggling in ways I never imagined. Speaking up was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but I refuse to let silence win.

Running has been my way of taking back strength and control when everything else felt out of reach. Every kilometre I run represents a step away from silence, a stand against abuse, and a stride towards safer, more respectful workplaces and communities for all women.

By supporting this fundraiser you’re not only helping me cross the finish line of an ultra marathon. You are helping drive change so fewer women ever have to face what too many of us already have. Together we can start the conversation, break the silence and build a future free of violence against women.
