"There is widespread anger and sadness in First Nations communities. Sisters, wives, mothers, and daughters are gone from their families without clear answers. There are families whose loved ones are missing—babies growing up without mothers, mothers without daughters, and grandmothers without granddaughters. For Native Americans, this adds one more layer of trauma upon existing wounds that cannot heal. Communities are pleading for justice."

While we EXERCISE our right to safety by hitting the trails, running the roads, frequenting the gym, etc, indigenous women are at risk of violence in their own everyday lives. STAND UP for these women and girls with us in October and always by focusing your positive energy by contributing to our FundRACE while we dedicate our physical activity to #MakeChange on behalf of missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW).
