Since we cannot be together to experience the energy of Run for Your Life, join our Facebook Group to connect with other participants. This is where we will be posting a lot of encouragement, sharing challenge and race-day photos, costume contest submissions and winners.
Sharing on Social Media
Share your progress on social media and help us bring awareness to mental health and suicide prevention! The goal is to help normalize mental health conversations and struggles. We know none of these activities alone can "fix" mental illness or mental health challenges, but practicing self-care can be instrumental in assisting and supporting.
