Veteran Mental Health 0.K Run

We don’t ruck march, we don’t do push-up challenges and this is not a “fun run” to raise awareness of veteran suicide. This
is a marathon of information provided by organizations doing amazing things to treat Traumatic Brain Injuries, Post Traumatic
Stress and Depression, all in combating veteran suicide. Our goal is get actual information and contacts to those who need it.
Veterans and their families have sacrificed enough, join us on November 12th and learn how organizations such as Mt
Caramel, The Marcus Institute, Mind Spa, After the Long Walk, and many more, are helping our heroes live better lives. You don’t
have to be a veteran to attend and all the support we can get is needed. Thank you, we hope to see you, Veterans Day Weekend.
