The Wichita / Sedgwick County Domestic Violence / Sexual Assault Coalition and Wichita State University School of Community Affairs will host the second annual Purple Mile Walk to increase awareness of domestic violence and exhibit support for survivors. The public is invited to participate from 9-10 a.m. tomorrow (Saturday, Oct. 8) at Wichita State University. The walk will start at the north end of the Rhatigan Student Center. Prior to the walk at 8 a.m., there will be a brief memorial and a stone put in the Plaza of Heroines in memory of Shawna Harp-Mobley, who originally coordinated the event.
