Organiser's Description
This 5K Run/Walk has been planned to help raise awareness about depression and its sometimes fatal result Suicide. This run/walk is in memory of Scott Hammersmith and those who have died by suicide. Come out to walk or run in memory of someone you have lost or to help spread the word so others are not lost.
