Run, Walk, or Partner to raise money to support Victoria Women's Transition House Society's 35th Anniversary Campaign to end Violence Against Women
Since 1974, VWTHS has been empowering women, with or without children, who want to end the cycle of abuse. To do this we rely on the support of members in the community.
This will be the fourth year that our team “Mission: Transition”, partnered with Target Storage, has entered the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon (formerly the Royal Victoria Marathon). In the past we have raised $50,000. This year our goal is to have 100 team members raise an additional $50,000 to help end violence and abuse against women in our community.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
By registering to walk or run in the kids, 8K, half or full marathon, and signing up for Team Mission Transition. To achieve our goal, we encourage each team member to raise a minimum of $350, and to recruit a friend. Then run, jog, walk, or skip through the full, half, or 8 km portion of the Marathon. You can also help by becoming a corporate partner.
Please see the link to the invite letter, important dates, and corporate partnership package below.
We offer a weekly training group, a kick-off barbeque on June 23, and a great t-shirt. Plus you’ll have a team of people behind you as you cross the finish line.
If you are unable to participate in the marathon, you can still help by donating to our runners. Money raised goes to help support the immediate needs and costs at the 18-bed Emergency Shelter.
You can register for the marathon here: HTTP://WWW.EVENTSONLINE.CA/EVENTS/VICMARA/. Once registered, please contact Elissa at the below contact info.
