You probably noticed I decorated my blog for Halloween (ohai, October Blog Party friends, sorry I haven't posted about our cool holiday goings-on. I have my computer back now, so I can finally upload photos! COMING SOON!) but I also added a sidebar button for the National Domestic Violence Hotline. This is inspired by Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October) but will likely remain there indefinitely.
Preventing Domestic Violence and protecting its victims is my chosen cause and I've been wanting to get involved in my local shelter for a long time. My participation in the Family Shelter Service 5k is meant to be a kickoff of getting deeply involved in the shelter and other pertinent areas of this cause.
I've written a brief recap of my race and some information about the shelter for DuPage Mamas, and that's today's featured post there. Please check it out to find out a bit more about Domestic Violence, Awareness, and Family Shelter Service.
And please, if you or someone you know may be a victim of domestic violence, call the national hotline at 1800-799-SAFE.
