Together we have made significant progress
in advancing the work of suicide prevention in Hamilton, but there is more to do! 

Running for Rachael plays a vital role in supporting the city-wide work of suicide prevention by bringing the community together to promote hope (prevention), help (intervention) and healing (postvention) through crisis support information, training, education and support groups. 

With the help of people like you, we raised $40,862.44 in 2023! Thank you!

Our goal for 2024 is $50,000.

This was my first time participating in Running
for Rachael and it was an incredibly special event for my family. My
sister-in-law was visiting from out of town and this was her first race
experience. It was a very emotional, healing and empowering day for us both for
many reasons, and so special to connect to and support the very important work
of SPCCH. The event itself was well organized and a lot of fun, and we look
forward to coming back! - Teresa B.
