Sgt. Beard tries on his walking shoes
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes
Sgt. Lynn Beard, Abilene Police Department and Secretary of the RCVCC Board of Directors,
leads the "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" in downtown Abilene.  The event is a fun way to
demonstrate that men and women are partners in preventing sexual violence. Sgt. Beard led
dozens of men on the walk, with some carrying signs saying, "I am man enough to walk a
mile in her shoes."  The walk was held April 13, 2010, during Sexual Assault Awareness and
Prevention Month.
