Run for Life 2023

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 6th annual Run for Life to raise awareness for suicide prevention and remember those we’ve lost.

Run for Life 2023 was our biggest year yet with over 800 supporters representing every province in Canada, and countries around the world – many of you participated in community and family events, as well as corporate team-building events at your workplaces and conferences, or by yourselves in more quiet reflection.

We look forward to seeing everyone’s participation again for the 7th annual Run for Life in September 2024!
