WALK THE WALK: Hundreds ‘Walk The Mile,' focus on survivors of domestic violence

Purple was everywhere Saturday — purple T-shirts, purple ribbons, even purple jogging shorts and running shoes. These purple-clad individuals flocked to downtown Boerne Saturday for a cause, and to support those most affected.

Saturday was the first “Walk The Mile” event, part of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month — organized to focus on the problem of domestic violence and to show support for its survivors.

The purple-clad attendees met on the Kendall County Courthouse lawn to hear from Kendall County Judge Shane Stolarczyk, Criminal District Attorney Nicole Bishop, County Sheriff Al Auxier, and Boerne Police Chief Steve Perez.
