All are invited to the 25th Annual Courage Walk, which is a time to honor the strength and courage of survivors in the aftermath of crime - and a time to speak out in unison for crime victims’ rights and services today and in the future.

This year’s theme emphasizes the importance of inclusion in Victim Services. Eleanor Roosevelt spoke directly to these unsung heroes when she said, “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every
experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” The courage of survivors who “do the thing they think they cannot do” and then find a way to live life again, inspires this event.

The 25th Annual Courage Walk will begin at the Jefferson County Courts and Administration Building (rain or shine!) and will conclude with a short ceremony at the Courage Garden. The half mile walk is wheelchair accessible.

The Courage Garden is dedicated to Crime Victims and County Employees. Designated for commemorative plantings, it is also a place of respite for those involved in court cases.
