Sgt Chris Hampton Memorial 5K

The idea for last year’s inaugural run/walk originated after our Dearborn Police family lost Sgt. Christopher Hampton on November 25th, 2020 to suicide during his tour of duty.  Chris was a wonderful human being, a caring friend, a loving brother / son / father, and an amazing Police Officer.  The 2021 inaugural event was a great success in majority due to the wonderful support we received from the participants, volunteers, business partners, and partnership with Trivium Racing.  The reason for continuing this annual event will be to keep the memory and legacy of Sgt. Chris Hampton alive and using our collective family’s loss to help others by raising awareness for those suffering from anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.  Those issues regularly plague first responders and effect persons of all backgrounds.  Organizations such as DEARBORN POLICE OFFICERS CHARITIES work to provide support and tools to recognize/assist persons in need.
