Every mile walked or run honors the lives of veterans and brings much-needed attention to the reality of veteran su***de. These events are more than just physical activity—they are a visible reminder that no one has to struggle alone. By showing up, we help break the stigma surrounding mental health, encourage open conversations, and remind our veterans that their lives matter deeply.
Participation in events like this also helps connect individuals to vital resources, promotes early intervention, and fosters a sense of community support. Whether you're walking in memory of someone, supporting a loved one, or simply standing in solidarity, your presence makes a difference.
Together, we can be a voice for those who feel unheard, a light for those in dark moments, and a community that refuses to let our veterans fight their battles alone.
Lace up, show up, and stand with us—because hope starts here

Plan ahead for the VA's 5k Run/Walk for Su***de Awareness on Sept. 12! For more information and registration, visit aliveandrunningva.com.
