While I myself have no direct experience with sexual assault, far too many of the people I love have.  Including at least five of my close friends right here in the Boston area.

BARCC helps tons of people thoughout the Greater Boston area recieve the services they need in a safe, understanding, welcoming place. It is the only provider of comprehensive rape crisis services in the greater Boston area.

Services include a 24-hour hotline, 24-hour ER accompaniment, counseling, legal assistance and community awareness and prevention programs.  In the last year alone, BARCC helped over 4,000 survivors and another 10,000 people through prevention education, training and outreach.

I would greatly appreciate any kind of help you can give, whether it be a donation to me or another walker, or a decision to attend the walk yourself.  Every little bit counts.
