Make 97 miles count
97% of women aged 18-24 have been sexually harassed in
public spaces.*
Recent events have highlighted this. As a sponsored event,
Cardiff University Ladies Cricket Club are running 97 miles in a week to raise
awareness of the harassment women face on a regular basis. We will be donating
the funds raised to The Survivors Trust. This charity provides ‘support and
therapy to over 80,000 individuals each year’. Their core aim is to ‘ensure
that society supports all survivors effectively and takes responsibility for
ending sexual violence!’.
We hope to raise at least £500. The event will take place
between 21st and 28th March. With donations ending on the
5th April.
All donations are greatly appreciated!
