This years 5K Walk / Run was a huge success with over 200 participants and the support of so many sponsors who made the event very special. A special thanks to Nikole Heilmann and Ellen Chung-Finnegan for their dedication and efforts with coordinating the entire event. In addition, thanks to the entire board and Task Force members for continuing to support this yearly event to increase awareness about suicide prevention. As the event began, we watched families come together to honor the lives of those we have lost to suicide and support each other through sharing and caring for each other. Throughout the walk/run we all were able to witness the importance of focusing on our sole purpose, to help prevent future suicides. Although their were awards after the race and great pizza from La Laconda, we are all winners for making this issue important and prominent in our community. We hope you enjoy looking at the photos and continue to support our cause in the future.
