DESCRIPTION:1000 MOTHERS TO PREVENT VIOLENCE\nHosts 10th Mourning Mothers “Walk for 
 Healing”\nFor Families and Friends of Homicide Victims and those impacted 
 by PTSD”\n\nMEDIA ADVISORY\nSaturday, May 11, 2019\nContact: Lorrain 
 Taylor 510-581-0100 \n (San Leandro – May 11, 2019) Hundreds are expected 
 to join 1000 Mothers to Prevent Violence 10th annual “Mourning Mothers 
 Walk for Healing” at the San Leandro Marina Park (Heron); 1380l Monarch 
 Bay Dr., San Leandro, CA from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.\n\nThe Mourning 
 Mothers Walk was started by Lorrain Taylor, founder and executive director 
 of “1000 Mothers to Prevent Violence” to help grieving families dealing 
 with PTSD and to raise awareness to the ongoing impact of violence on the 
 community. Lorrain Taylor found walking the marina to be an alternative to 
 taking prescribed anti-depressants. “Grief is crippling, walking helps 
 ease my pain”, she said. \n\n The Mourning Mothers Walk for Healing will 
 provide an atmosphere of hope, healing and a fun environment for surviving 
 family members and friends of gun violence victims who acutely feel the 
 pain of loss and separation especially during Mother’s Day.  “To be 
 alone even with family and friends does not diminish the feelings of 
 desolation, despair and sadness that so many survivors feel; but at least 
 we will be together to support one another”, Taylor said.\n\nThe Mourning 
 Mothers Walk for Healing will feature testimonials by homicide 
 victim-survivors; prayer, praise and worship music by Bruce O’Neal band; 
 live contemporary music and entertainment by world renown percussionist, 
 Juan Escovedo, and 11-time Grammy award winner Tony Lindsay of Santana 
 Band. Finally, Taylor, will share her story and songs she wrote and 
 recorded: “Gumbo for my Soul” and “It’s Time to Take a Stand”. 
 \n\nSan Leandro Mayor Pauline Cutter will honor 1,000 Mothers to Prevent 
 Violence with a proclamation declaring the May 11th as Mourning Mother’s 
 Day of Healing” for the City of San Leandro. Also, longtime supporters, 
 Pastor Edwin Brown and members of Market St. Seventh Day Adventist Church 
 will be joining us for the 3k Walk for Healing which begins at 9:00 
 a.m.\n\nThere will be raffles, food, face painting art and onsite physical 
 and mental therapy\n\nLorrain Taylor, DMin., founded 1000 Mothers to 
 Prevent Violence as part of her own healing process following the murders 
 of her twin sons Albade and Obadiah Taylor, 22-year old college students, 
 who were senselessly gunned down on the streets of Oakland by a serial 
 killer while they were repairing a car together on February 8, 2000. \n
