Aevidum is hosting its third annual virtual 5k this fall to unite our supporters to shatter the silence of depression and suicide while spreading kindness and positivity during Mental Health Awareness Week in October. We know physical activity is an impactful protective factor for mental health issues so we challenge you to get active this fall and support a great cause. You pick the date, time, location, and physical activity for your 5K between October 1-9, 2022. Every step you take, stroke you swim, or mile you pedal will help support Aevidum’s crucial mental health and suicide prevention programming in our over 300 schools.

Sign up by 9/12 and for $25, we will mail you an Aevidum swag kit with a t-shirt and stickers to help promote the new National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number, 988. We challenge participants to leave the stickers along their route or give them out during Mental Health Awareness Week to spread this important resource within their communities. 
 
Registration with a swag kit closes Monday, September 12, 2022 at 11:59pm. Individuals who want to participate without a swag kit can register until Friday, September 30th. All swag kits will ship to participants the last week of September.

Participants are encouraged to upload a picture of themselves using #AevidumVirtual5K and/or email a photo to clubs@aevidum.org so we can see the ways we are spreading mental health awareness and preventing suicide together.
