Event Description

Make Your Steps Count for Kevin’s Cause  7th Annual 5K Run/Walk and Health Fair...

WE WALK TO SAVE LIVES, TO HONOR LOVED ONES AND TO RAISE FUNDS TO HELP PREVENT SUICIDE… Suicide is a national health problem that takes an enormous toll on family, friends, co-workers, and the entire community. 

In 2013, 41,149 people across our nation died by suicide;  Thousands more attempt each year.  90% of all those who take their life each year have a diagnosable mental health issue.  60% of those suffer with depression, and 50 - 75 receive no treatment or are under treated.  Every population is at risk.  But the stigma of seeking help for a mental health issue keeps people from finding supportive resources. 

The World Health Organization states that Depression is the #1 Disability in the World.  And if we don't change how we are supporting, treating, behaving around it, Depression will be come the 2nd leading cause of death by 2020.
