Whether you walk, run, roll, or dance, every action you take supports life-saving suicide prevention services in our community.

WHAT MAKES HEALING HEARTS SPECIAL?

This is more than just a race. It’s a day of healing, joy, and connection for the whole family. After you hit the pavement for our walk/run, stick around for a wellness fair, movement classes, snacks, and a heart-centered program that uplifts the strength of our community.
