“Women are really insecure at this point in time to go for a run by themselves,” said Erin Wilks, Bletsch’s neighbor and cousin by marriage.
According to MLive, Bletsch’s family is addressing the situation by organizing a women’s self-defense class for saturday, July 19 at Reeths-Puffer High School in Muskegon Township.
The class will cost $25 and will consist of two separate sessions, the first from 8 to 10 a.m. and the second from 10 a.m. to noon. Instruction will be provided by the staff at NorthWinds Martial Arts.
As MLive reports, the self-defense class is partially a fundraiser for the Bletsch family, with $10 from each registration going to them. Bletsch is survived by her husband, Kevin, and their 11-year-old daughter.
