Walk In My Shoes 2026 - Gainesville

Get ready to lace up your sneakers for a cause that strides towards hope and healing! We're calling on you to be a part of the "Walk in My Shoes" event—a powerful 1,500-mile journey across Florida with the Lauren's Kids foundation. As we honor National Sexual Assault Awareness and Child Abuse Prevention Month this April, each step we take together makes a profound statement against child sexual abuse and aids survivor recovery.

Mark your calendars for April 19th, 2026, in Gainesville, where our solidarity begins at the Child Advocacy Centers Inc. Registration kicks off at 11:00 AM, followed by the walk starting at noon. Choose your challenge: a 5-mile trek to Cultural Plaza or go further with the full 9-mile journey to the Gainesville Woman’s Club. And don't sweat the return trip—an UBER code to shuttle you back is on us. Join the movement, and let's walk the talk for those who need it most!
