Strides for Survivors 2021

You can amplify the strength and resilience of sexual assault survivors by making strides in any place at whatever pace feels good to your body in the 2021 Strides for Survivors 5k.   This event is for anyone who knows, is, or cares about survivors and helping raise social awareness of this issue- all you have to do is show up (virtually) by running, walking, or disco dancing between 4/19-4/30.

 In honor of the fact that every 73 seconds someone in the USA is sexually assaulted, we hope to reach 730 total kilometers ran this year.  You can participate in a team (virtual or in-person), and we encourage you to tag us on social media @TheSurvirvorStoriesProject (Facebook +instagram), and be sure to use the hashtag #stridesforsurvivors when you post those sweaty selfies.

All proceeds go to The Survivor Stories Project, a nonprofit (tax-exempt status has been applied for) founded by Sara Mishina Kunz, a rape survivor, and advocate.  The money will go to building out the app SARA (sexual assault recovery assistant)- a mobile app for survivors that provides in-the-moment grounding tools and long-term support for recovering from sexual trauma.  Proceeds will also be used to bring our prevention and support services to college campuses where this support is needed the most.
