We walked over a mile to downtown today for the Dekalb Rape Crisis Center's Take Back the Night 5K run. Tom ran the race 
and came in first in his age group, and made better time than the last 5K he participated in. His prize? A commuter mug with First Place Age Division on it. 
The event was fun and for a good cause. My contribution? Clapping and yelling for everyone who crossed the finish line.
An outside exhibition of t-shirts created by victims of rape or sexual violence and friends and family of victims reminded us of the serious intention of the event: to raise money for the local rape crisis center. 
Flying like prayer flags in the breeze
Incidences of (reported) forcible rape in Georgia (2006): 2,173.
According to a 1992 study, just 16% of rapes are reported.
