Make Every Step Count: Lace up your shoes and take strides toward a world free from human trafficking. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or somewhere in between, your steps matter in the fight against exploitation.

Raise Awareness: Human trafficking is a grave issue that affects countless lives. By participating, you’re not just walking; you’re shining a light on this dark reality. Awareness is the first step toward change.

Unite for Change: Join a compassionate community of individuals who share your commitment to ending trafficking. Together, we’re a force to be reckoned with, and together, we can make a lasting impact.

Supporting the Paso del Norte Center of Hope:

When you take part in this event, you’re not just walking or running; you’re extending a lifeline to survivors of human trafficking. A significant percentage of the proceeds will be devoted to the Paso del Norte Center of Hope, a beacon of hope for those who have endured unimaginable suffering. Your participation becomes a direct channel of support, breathing life into their mission of healing, empowerment, and renewal. Join us in making each step not just a stride forward but a giant leap towards brighter futures for survivors.
