2025 RFR Thank You

Thanks so much for your participation and support for our 13th Annual Running for Rachael 5k run/walk event at Lime Ridge, on Sunday, Sept 28th.  Everyone enjoyed the community experience, closed Mall Road loop, creating Messages of Hope, coffee and food sponsored by Fortinos Waterdown and Starbucks.    

Special thanks to our sponsors who stepped up generously to support the work of suicide prevention. We greatly appreciate our 40 volunteers who served in so many capacities and facilitated a great experience for everyone!   

Running for Rachael is an uplifting community event that generates mental health awareness and promotes conversations about suicide that encourage healthy help-seeking behaviour.  

I am very pleased to report that together we raised $33293.21 and almost 300 participants. 

Check out our photo gallery.  

The funds will be used finance, city-wide suicide prevention training, Roots of Hope suicide prevention and life promotion initiatives, education and support programs for those who have experienced loss by suicide. 

Thank you for being part of our Community of Support.  Together, we can change the narrative, reduce suicide and generate hope in our community.  

Sincerely, 

Sidney Stacey, SPCCH Chair
