October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and it is the perfect month to hold the 3rd annual AK5k. This Run & Walk is constantly growing and is a great way to raise awareness of this terrible epidemic and to raise money for charities close to the heart of Alex Kogut.

With October being Domestic Violence Awareness month and the recent murder of New Hartford teen Alex Kogut, a Facebook page was set up asking everyone to wear purple today.  The call was heard loud and clear.  Today there's purple everywhere you turn.

Last night while driving through New Hartford I saw the service being held for New Hartford teen Alex Kogut. Streets were filled with people waiting to pay their respects. At least two blocks were full when I drove by around 7. Alex will be laid to rest today.
