#BeeThe1ToHelpSomeone

Thank you for the support received last year that afforded us to increase awareness, support advocacy and provide helpful resources.

World Mental Health Day is observed every year in October with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health wellness and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health. In the U.S., every year, approximately 41,000 people die by suicide. 

In 2016, on October 28, my twin, Aaren, aka “Bee”, completed suicide after several months of battling depression and PTSD. It is my desire to build greater awareness of mental health and PTSD in memory of Aaren and others who have died by suicide. Aaren was an avid basketball player and runner. He was a very giving person who "never met a stranger." He would literally give the shirt on his back to a person in need. To know my brother, Bee, you would know he would want you to “Bee the One to Help Someone” by raising awareness thru providing resources to help combat mental health and post traumatic stress disorder…starting in our homes, schools, churches, neighborhoods and in as many municipalities as possible across the nation. 

Please join us October 18th - October 28th for the 2nd Annual Virtual 5K Walk/Run Race. Register Today! This Virtual Flex-Time Run/Walk allows you to participate on your own schedule. Run/Walk at your own convenient time, pace and place! Just complete your 5K (3.1 miles) by October 28 @ 3:11pm CST. Remember to email your Finish Time. 

Thank you! 

Let's tie those running shoes up and let's get walking or running!!!
