It is estimated that only 10% of all domestic violence victims come forward and seek help. In response to these unfortunate truths the Erie County Commission on the Status of Women has organized the “Break the Cycle” bike-a-thon. Bring your friends and join us in this public display to raise awareness about the serious issue of domestic and family violence in our community. YOU can be part of the solution. Stand Up & Speak Out. Together, we can break the cycle of abuse.
