Second annual Poppy’s Run For Life! Suicide rates are on the rise in The United States. Suicide is a leading cause of death in the U.S. with 45,979 deaths in 2020. This is about one death every 11 minutes. The number of people who attempt or think about suicide is even higher. Suicide affects the health and well-being of surviving family, friends, co-workers, loved ones and the community.

We are receiving support from the community and a large crowd of walkers and runners who will participate in the 5K race. Proceeds will again go to the Montrose Center and Alexander JFS Houston which offer suicide prevention and awareness.
