The impact of suicide on individuals, families, and communities is immeasurable. It is a topic that often carries a heavy stigma, leaving those affected feeling isolated and alone in their struggles. The "You Are Not Alone" Run seeks to break down these barriers, foster understanding, and promote open conversations about mental health.

The 4-mile Fun Run not only encourages physical activity and well-being but also symbolizes the journey many individuals face when overcoming mental health obstacles.

Hodad's, a beloved Ocean Beach establishment renowned for its mouthwatering burgers, has played an integral role in bringing this event to fruition. Their commitment to community well-being extends beyond their delicious food, as they aim to create an inclusive and compassionate environment. By joining forces with Hodad's, we harness their positive influence and reach a wider audience, spreading the message that no one should face mental health challenges alone.
We must also take a moment to honor the memory of Ryan Bowers, whose untimely passing serves as a reminder of the urgent need to address mental health. Through this event, we honor his life and the lives of countless others who have been affected by suicide. By uniting under the banner of "You Are Not Alone," we stand shoulder to shoulder, providing solace, support, and hope to those who need it most.
