We're walking around the world for Yeardley

In April 2017, ten SUNY Athletic Conference campuses came together with a goal of running 10 million yards to honor Yeardley Love. The campuses didn’t exactly meet their goal…they shattered it with a whopping 25.7 million yards in 10 days! After the inaugural campaign, SUNY set its goal for this year.

SUNY campuses across the state will organize campus Yards for Yeardley campaigns with the goal of reaching 50 million yards, or “Around the World for Yeardley” as a SUNY Community. The circumference of the earth is approximately 50 million yards, and SUNY plans to go around the world for Yeardley, bringing the community together and sparking conversations that can save lives along the way.

Founded in 2010 to honor the memory of Yeardley Love, One Love’s mission is to end relationship abuse by educating young people about healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviors and empowering them to be leaders driving change in their communities. Each campaign will have an educational component and participants will learn about healthy and unhealthy relationships and local resources. Together, our campus communities and the SUNY community will rally to end relationship abuse, and ultimately save lives.
