What do you run for?

Suicide is now the 2nd leading cause of death for young people 10-24.
The past couple of years, there has been an increase in teen suicides. 
Join us as we continue to advocate for Teen Suicide Prevention/Awareness.
Come run/walk together in the beautiful Lynches River County Park.
Can't join us in person, we have a Virtual Option!

The Jonathan Foundation is aligning with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in The Bold Goal. The Campaign aims to reduce the
rate of suicide by 20 percent by the year 2025.

We have launched two of three strategic community
awareness campaigns in support of The Bold Goal
