My mom has inspired me through her work as an educator on intimate partner violence. Since the murder of my aunt (her sister) through an act of domestic violence my mom started a non-profit in my aunts honor. My mom has inspired me to seek healthy relationships, and to never let anyone control my life. My mom has aready spoken to 10,000 students in just 1 year of the murder. I know she hasn't just inspired me but thousands of others. Her dedication and lifetime pledge to honor her sister has showed me the true value of life and love. Thank you.

Ashley Stecker, proud daughter of Heidi Markow the Founder of Beginning Over Foundation

Although my aunt and I don't get to talk to much I really do appreciate all that she has done in memory of my mother Robin Shaffer. I think that she touched many live and still lots to come. Its a great feeling to know that she is so dedicated to doing what she says she's going to do. I am very proud to hear that she is touching many lives.

Heidi Markow is a inspiration to all of us! She has inspired millions to become involved in domestic violence prevention and to do more than sit on the sidelines!

Thank you Heidi for doing all that you have done on behalf of victims of abuse!
