As part of Women’s Abuse Prevention Month, the event aims to raise $10,000 in loving memory of the family. All donations will support Hiatus House and its transitional housing project, where a unit will be named in their honor.
The event on Nov. 2 starts at 11 a.m., with a total walk distance of 3.5 kilometres at the Harrow Soccer Complex at 2225 Roseborough Road.
