​

Join us for the second annual Take It In Strides Run as we commemorate loved ones

lost to suicide and continue our commitment to suicide prevention.

​

Last year, thanks to your incredible support, we raised over $50,000. 

Let's come together again this year to make an even bigger impact.

​

This event is a charitable initiative where you can either run 5 km or 10 km, walk 3 km, or participate virtually in any activity of your preference from any location to pay tribute to a loved one lost to suicide and promote awareness about prevention.

​

The aim of this event is to offer support to individuals struggling with mental health challenges by demonstrating the support of their community. It also seeks to equip those who have someone

battling mental illness with the necessary knowledge to provide assistance.

​

Before the physical event, we are looking to partner with organizations such as the CCTB and the CMHA to promote online workshops and training sessions to educate people on suicide prevention.

​

The proceeds from the Take It In Strides Run will be donated to the

Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) and the Children’s Centre Foundation (CCTB).

​

Participants will be encouraged to provide support, demonstrate resilience,

share personal narratives, and honour those who have passed away.

​​

NEW This year, we will be hosting a spaghetti dinner on

September 7, 2024, at 6:00 pm.

Location: 200 Van Norman St, Thunder Bay, ON P7A 4B8.

​

WHEN & WHERE IS IT?

​

This year’s run will occur on Sunday, September 8th, at Boulevard Lake, Thunder Bay. Alternatively, you can participate virtually from any location by engaging in any activity of your choice to commemorate

a loved one lost to suicide and advocate for suicide prevention.
