Sunny skies, great music and enthusiastic support contribute to a successful event
It was a beautiful day at Johnson Park, Piscataway as runners, walkers, sponsors, volunteers and supporters turned out strong to support victim-survivors of domestic violence and their families at Women Aware’s Moving Beyond Abuse 5K & Charity Walk. “You are saving lives,” said Women Aware CEO Phyllis Yonta.
Nearly 180 individuals registered for the annual event, which raises funds for free and confidential services for victim-survivors of domestic violence in Middlesex County. As the state-designated lead domestic violence agency for Middlesex County, Women Aware serves 3,000 women, men and children every year, offering safety planning, emergency shelter, legal advocacy, support groups, children’s programs and connection with community resources.
Adding to event fun was music from Goldenseal the Band, a runner warm-up with WorkHard Fitness, East Brunswick and pre and post-race massages from Rebalance Massage Clinic, East Brunswick.
