### **Thunder Hill Showdown 5K – A Run for Hope & Healing**  

The **Thunder Hill Showdown** is more than just a run—it’s a chance for our community to come together in **honor, remembrance, and action**. This 5K course begins at the **Lapwai Football Field**, climbs to the **top of Thunder Hill**, and loops back—a powerful journey that symbolizes **resilience and strength**.  

This event was created by **Riston Bullock** to **raise awareness for suicide prevention**, honor his sister **Raquel**, and provide support for families affected by loss. Funds raised will contribute to **Raquel’s memorial and headstone**, with **50% of proceeds** donated to a **suicide prevention foundation**.  

📅 **Date:** July 13, 2025 – Lapwai Days  
📍 **Location:** Lapwai Football Field → Thunder Hill → Back  
💰 **Entry Fee:** $35 *(Donations are welcome!)*  

### **Honoring Loved Ones**  
To make this event even more meaningful, we will have:  
🎤 **Guest Speakers** sharing stories of hope, loss, and mental health awareness.  
📷 **Memory Tables** where participants can bring photos of loved ones lost to suicide—creating a space for reflection, remembrance, and healing.  

This is our **first annual event**, with hopes of growing into a tradition that fosters **support, connection, and change**. Whether you run, walk, or simply gather with us, **every step counts**.  

Join **Riston Bullock** in **breaking the silence, honoring lives, and standing together for mental health awareness**. 💙🎗🏃‍♂️
