This October 18th I'm taking on the Melbourne Marathon, that's right I'm running 42km just for fun. To celebrate I want to raise money for a cause that I believe is important. To date 63 women have died due to violence against women, this is only one horrible fact related to this problem. Women and children are facing financial hardship and homelessness to due to domestic violence. The Women's Legal Service assists women experiencing disadvantage who are facing legal issues arising out of relationship breakdown and violence. This means that they assist women with issues such as: Protection from family violence and personal safety (intervention orders) Children living with and spending time with their parents (this used to be called “custody and access” or “residence and contact”) Division of property after separation Separation and divorce Victims of crime applications
I'm asking you all to help me raise money for this worthwhile organization.
