My Story…
I’m running this 5K for NEED2 Suicide Prevention Education & Support because suicide has touched my life in ways I never imagined. I have personally experienced the heartbreak of losing someone to suicide twice in my lifetime. Most recently, in January, I lost my ex-partner — someone who meant so much to me.
He loved to run, and I have never run a 5K in my life. Every step of this race will be completely outside my comfort zone, but that’s exactly why I’m doing it. I’m doing it for him. To honour his memory, the person he was, and the love he had for running.
This 5K is more than just a run for me. It’s grief, healing, love, and remembrance all moving forward together. I hope that by sharing my story and supporting NEED2 Society, it helps bring more awareness, compassion, and support to those struggling and to the people who love them. No one should ever feel alone.
