This year’s Walk A Mile was especially meaningful as we dedicated the event to the memory of our beloved board member, Mary Elizabeth Mullikin. 💙 Mary Elizabeth was a passionate advocate for survivors and a powerful supporter of women in law and government affairs. Her commitment to justice and healing lives on in the work we do every day at Pathways to Healing. During the walk, her parents—Thomas and Virginia Mullikin—accepted an award in her honor. It was a moving and unforgettable moment for our organization and all who knew and loved her. In a quiet but powerful tribute, Mary Elizabeth’s initials were placed within the toe of this year’s high heel stickers—a symbol of the legacy she leaves behind and the strides we continue to take in her honor. 👠 #WalkAMile2025 #PathwaysToHealing #LegacyOfHope #SupportSurvivors #CommunityHealing (fb)

“For my sister.” “For a better future.” “To prove that survivors are NOT alone.” At #WalkAMile 2025, USC Pathways to Healing group invited participants to share why they walk—writing their messages on heart-shaped sticky notes and placing them on our “Why I Walk” board. We were deeply moved by the honesty, hope, and strength behind each message. These hearts reminded us why this work matters—every single day. Thank you to everyone who walked, shared, and stood with survivors. You inspire us to keep going! #WhyIWalk #PathwaysToHealing #USCStrong #SexualViolenceAwareness #WalkAMile2025 #HopeAndHealing (fb)
