The purpose of the Resilience Rally 5k is to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention. The Resilience Run was started in honour of Natalie Puente, a UCLA rower who lost her life to suicide. Our goal is to shift the narrative surrounding suicide and mental illness. We want to end the stigma that having a mental illness makes you weak and show that instead, it takes immense resilience to live with a mental illness. Despite this resilience, suicide is the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-34.
Our goal at Resilience Rally is to give those suffering from mental illness and suicidal ideation the professional support they need. Proceeds from T-shirt sales and donations will go directly to The Resilience Rally Foundation. With your help, our non-profit will offer professional individual and group counseling for each illness and disorder for any demographic. We will also offer mental health workshops and compensated subscriptions to mental health resources.
A portion of proceeds will go to Natalie Puente's memorial page for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
