100 Mile Fundraiser
My name is Austin Johnson, and I am the Founder and Executive Director of the Run For Your Life Foundation. On Friday and Saturday, August 23rd-24th I will be running 100 miles as a fundraiser for our organization.
Suicide is a pressing issue that affects countless families and communities. In the United States, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death, with over 45,000 lives lost each year. This means we lose someone to suicide approximately every 11 minutes. Moreover, for every suicide, there are many more people who attempt it, leaving profound emotional and financial impacts on those they leave behind.
The Run For Your Life Foundation works tirelessly to reduce these numbers by providing education, resources, and support to those in need. Our mission is to create a world where no one feels alone in their struggle, and your support can make a significant difference.
The 100-mile run is not just a personal challenge for me but a testament to the endurance and strength of those battling mental health issues every day. It symbolizes our commitment to this cause and our determination to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention.
Thank you for your support in this vital mission. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those struggling with mental health issues.
Warm regards,
2nd Annual RFYL Suicide Awareness Run- Lake Stevens
Please join us on Saturday, August 13th for our second annual Run For Your Life Suicide Awareness Run in downtown Lake Stevens. Start your morning with a 1 mile, 5k or 10k along side beautiful, sunny Lake Stevens.
Don’t forget to stick around after your run for food, music, shopping and fellowship. We will have mental health organizations on site, guest speakers, food trucks, local market vendors, games, a beer garden and more! All proceeds and donations from the event go towards providing education, mental health resources, after school running programs and providing financial scholarships for students of the local school district.
The Movember Marathons
On average, globally, 1 man commits suicide EVERY MINUTE of EVERY DAY.
In the US, men account for 3 out of every 4 suicides.
Please join and support me during the month of November as I set out to run a 26.2 mile marathon every day in November to bring awareness and fundraising to Men’s physical and mental health. All proceeds from the virtual “Movember Marathons” registration, merchandise sales and 100% of donations will be donated to the Movember Organization which provides resources, education and funding for Men’s Suicide Prevention, Prostate Cancer and Testicular Cancer.
