This topic is personal for Mike McNamara, a La Grange resident and business owner, who is spearheading this event. Mike is passionate about this cause because it has affected someone in his family.
“My sister was married to an abuser for 19 years and a local safe house program saved her life three different times as she fled on foot with two babies on her hips.  I’m on a personal mission to raise awareness of domestic violence, the realities of this abuse in our very own neighborhoods, eliminate the stigma and shame associated with this and raise money to help women gain their independence back from their abusers.” A used car donated to Mike’s sister gave her the means to obtain a job and stability for her family.
