Suicide prevention is everyone’s responsibility
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.
