The first annual Your Life Matters 5k Run/Walk to raise suicide prevention awareness is scheduled for September 15th.
Organizer Michaela Bigouette tells KNIA/KRLS News the number one thing the event can do is to provide some educational material and give people what to look for and the different things people may be going through, because its not an easy thing to spot. The proceeds from the 5k will be used for outreach programs and specifically to get guest speakers and resources into the school system and community to openly discuss the topic of suicide awareness and prevention.
