Event Description

🌺 Aloha for Life Run – Kaua‘i
Walk. Run. Heal. Hope.

We invite you to join us for the Aloha for Life Run, a 5K community event dedicated to raising awareness about youth mental health here on Kaua‘i.

This isn’t just about the miles — it’s about showing up for our island, for our keiki, and for one another. Together, we will:

Honor our community by recognizing the real challenges facing Kaua‘i teens.
Raise awareness about the alarming rise in youth depression, self-harm, and suicide.
Break the silence and stigma by encouraging open conversations about mental health.
Fuel hope by directly funding the launch of the Hope Fund — a program that provides immediate support for local teens through therapy, fitness, cultural practices, and creative outlets.

Why It Matters on Kaua‘i
1 in 3 Kaua‘i high school students report feeling persistently sad or hopeless.
1 in 11 teens on our island attempts suicide each year.
Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death for Hawai‘i youth ages 15–24.
These numbers aren’t just statistics — they represent friends, classmates, teammates, and ʻohana right here in our community.
