The lead runner (Rob Reed) will hold a candle symbolising the hope that people living with domestic violence feel when finding the courage to speak up and get the support that seems so out of reach. Services are available – but it takes all of us to make a stand. Individuals can take on the whole 110km; teams can relay 110km through the night; and many others can join the challenge of the last 10km run or the 3km walk – representing our community and all the services that are there to help those faced with danger and despair. Here is the Facebook link to the event Darkness2Daylight
