That will be me in the photo on June 1 …. the shoes, not the tattoo.
I have signed up for the Henderson County Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event, which is an “opportunity for men to raise awareness in their community about the serious causes, effects and remediations to sexualized violence.” … we will be doing four laps around the county courthouse.
The event will raise money for the East Texas Crisis Center, a wonderful organization in our area on the front lines helping the victims of abuse.
I know many of you don’t have a lot of extra money laying around — who does — but if you can spare $1, $5 or $10, it would really go a long way toward a very good cause.
If you can help, send a check to Walk a Mile, C/O Weinstein Law, 518 East Tyler Street, Athens, Texas 75751 (that’s my office). … If you want, you can even give Jasmine a call at 903-677-5333 to let her know a donation is coming.
Make checks payable to the East Texas Crisis Center.
If you are a man who would like to join the walk, call the East Texas Crisis Center at 903-675-2137.
Thank you so much for helping me to do at least a little bit to try and stop a big problem.
