In an incredible show of support, over 1,000 participants have committed to support the cause and will lace up their running shoes for Carlton Respects.
The community has rallied together ahead of the sold-out Run for Respect event this Sunday around Princes Park, all in the name of preventing violence against women.
Participants of all ages and abilities will complete either a three-kilometre walk or run, five-kilometre run and 10-kilometre run, with a number of past Carlton players also taking part in the event.
All profits will go towards the Carlton Respects community initiative, which aims to reach 6,000 primary school students next year, and is dedicated to further raising awareness and funds to help stop violence before it starts through the expansion of the Road to Respect school program.
An incredible show of community support for an important cause 💙🧡
