Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.  I am participating in EVENT NAME and have decided to use this experience to raise funds in support of Jane Doe No More.  I am going to Run to End the Silence.  Please consider sponsoring me with a donation to Jane Doe No More.  Jane Doe No More is a national 501c3 organization, founded by Donna Palomba, whose mission is simple and focused, with one main objective... to improve the way society responds to victims of sexual assault. It is time to END THE SILENCE OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. 1 in 4 women (and 1 in 33 men) are victims of an attempted sexual assault. Jane Doe No More is creating positive change for victims, their families and those affected by this crime through education and awareness. We are giving a voice to victims and building a visible and vibrant survivor community. No More Blame. No More Shame. No More Fear. All victims of sexual assault deserve the chance for a full and healthy recovery. Learn more at www.janedoenomore.org.
