Losing my father because of his mental health problems, which resulted to his death by suicide is something I carried, heavy with grief, shame, guilt, and regret throughout my life.

I sometimes still dream of a different reality.

I wish I was able to show him he was wanted and needed, and remind him that his presence mattered. I wish he had the support he needed, the kind of compassionate help that could have guided him through the darkness...

Perhaps he would still be here.

I hadn't even run a 5K before when I signed up. But I know I can do it, I will and I must do it, to support this cause, to help others avoid the suffering he endured, and to prevent their families from experiencing the grief we went through.

Anyone struggling with mental illness or suicidal thoughts should have quick access to support. By contributing to this fundraiser, you might just help save a life.

Please, join me in helping provide support to those who might be struggling with mental illness and suicidal thoughts. Any help will make a difference.
