Get active, join team #steps4change and raise funds to stop family violence against women and children.

Era joined #teamsteps4change and took part in Run Melbourne 2017.

You can take steps4change by participating in any marathon, run, walk or other organised fitness event around Australia and, at the same time, raise funds to help provide women and children with 24/7 access to support, information and assistance to escape family violence through safe steps Family Violence Response Centre.

I chose to raise funds for safe steps as part of a marathon event. Knowing I was helping women affected by domestic violence was a great motivator, it really helped me stay focused during training and made the whole experience so much more worthwhile. – Kelly
