MIAMI (WSVN) – What began as a walking club for women now takes on a new meaning in downtown Miami.<\/p>\n
The co-founder of 10k Steps Miami, Cassius Bythewood, shared his thoughts on the new meaning on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is going to be super helpful for Caitlin because not only is she going to feel the love from the community members here, but also on the back end as we\u2019re posting and sharing, she\u2019s gonna feel it virtually as well,\u201d said Bythewood. <\/p>\n
Bythewood co-founded 10k Steps Miami in early 2026, creating it as a Saturday morning women\u2019s walking club that turned into a movement with thousands of women walking together.<\/p>\n
But Saturday was dedicated to Caitlin Dydzuhn.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m out here today because two and a half weeks ago I was brutally attacked and almost murdered in my own front yard, and I\u2019m only here today because Cassius saved me. He courageously attacked the man who was beating me and stabbing me,\u201d said Dydzuhn. \u201cIt was pure terror.\u201d<\/p>\n
The victim, Dydzuhn, of a nightmare assault in the middle of a Tuesday morning, was randomly attacked while walking her dog<\/a> outside her luxury downtown Miami home.<\/p>\n \u201cOh my god!\u201d said Dydzuhn.<\/p>\n But Bythewood sprinted to fight off the attacker back on May 19, a decision Dydzuhn\u00a0believes saved her life.<\/p>\n
