Walk Everyday May

Walk Everyday May is an event I have created and Intitiated with White Ribbon Australia to help raise awareness and encourage people to reach out to victims and survivors of Family Violence. As Family Violence is an Integral part of my practise I've decided to create an annual event to contribute some real change within my practise.

 Family Domestic Violence is the main reason women and children leave their homes in Australia (FaHCSIA 2008). There is a lot of misunderstanding about victims of Family Violence which creates more isolation for victims when all they need is understanding and people to be there for them. Intimate partner violence is just one type of domestic violence and I aim to bring awareness to family violence in my artistic practice.
Walk Everyday May is an event like 40 hour famine where you aim to do any amount of steps over 10,000 everyday in May and have sponsors to help encourage you to keep to your goal and to donate to the cause. On the 31st of May participants are encouraged to throw their sponsors a party to thank their sponsors at the end of the event.

The very first Walk Every Day May event will be happening in May of 2022.
