Suicide prevention is everyone’s responsibility
Running for Rachael holds a special place in my heart. I understand the benefits of running for my mind and body. But there is something incredible about participating, with a hope-filled community, in an event supporting suicide prevention and making a difference. – Samantha M.This was my first time participating in Running for Rachael and it was an incredibly special event for my family. My sister-in-law was visiting from out of town and this was her first race experience. It was a very emotional, healing, and empowering day for us both for many reasons, and so special to connect to and support the very important work of SPCCH. The event itself was well organized and a lot of fun, and we look forward to coming back! - Teresa B.
When a community comes together, lives are transformed!Our partnership with CF Lime Ridge is an important step in helping to engage the community. With Running for Rachael, everyone is part of the team. We celebrate and encourage one another to walk or run to help others.
