From the Race Organizer
What is Accept Zero About? This event will open the opportunity to acknowledge the reality of suicide, honor those that we've lost, honor those that have survived, encourage dialogue and conversation, and begin to shift the culture, perceptions and beliefs regarding suicide. Together, we can spread the message that suicide is preventable, and the support is out there. Let us take the pledge to accept zero! #AcceptZero Money raised from this event is used for increased training and education throughout the community on suicide through free Question, Persuade, Response (QPR) trainings to businesses, churches, schools, and individuals. Additionally, funds will also be available to those individuals who may be experiencing thoughts to end their life so that they can seek support and treatment without the additional worry about finances which may include rent due to eviction notices, utilities being shut off, basic needs due to loss of income, no insurance, and past due medical/hospital bil
