"This awareness is dear to our hearts because it's something we've experienced," said Laverne Badger, ExPOSED Inc. cofounder. "We think if it's something we want to see, then it would be something somebody else would want to see."
ExPOSED Inc., formerly known as Exposed The Podcast Foundation, puts on the annual 5K. The nonprofit organization was established in 2018 and focuses on domestic violence awareness, prevention and education.
If you or a loved one is experiencing domestic violence, there is help available through the Sojourner Domestic Violence 24-Hour Hotline & Crisis Shelter: call 414-933-2722 or text 414-877-8100.
