While childhood sexual abuse can be a difficult topic for people to talk openly about, Break the Silence Project is hosting a morning of unity and action to empower survivors and raise awareness in the community for the second year in a row.
The “Second Annual Break the Silence Run,” organized with Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center, Taylor Independent School District and Impact Counseling Services, will be held from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 13, and will feature a 1.4-mile walk/run, food, educational activities, a raffle, speakers and more.
“The thing I am most excited about is being able to bring victims closer to the people who can help them,” said Marcus Reese, race organizer and fellow survivor. “That’s what this event will do even better this year than last year. Last year was how do we break the silence. This year is to show how do we close the gap even more.”
