Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I was an avid runner. I ran 4-5 times a week, always on my own...
Each and every time, I had a key between my fingers ready to attack, I was constantly scanning my surroundings and made notes of what men were wearing, how tall they were etc. in case any of them attacked me. I never took the same route twice and I never wore short shorts...
I was one of the lucky ones. In all my years out running, I was never attacked or followed. I was flashed at once but I said nothing and just kept running and made my way onto a busier path, just in case!
BUT that doesn't make any of what women have to do RIGHT just to...

Go for a walk or a run alone or walk home from a night out alone!
Unfortunately for Ashling Murphy, and many other women before her, she paid the ultimate price for being a woman who dared to go out alone for a run...she was brutally killed. This has to END!
RIP Ashling 💔
