Alive and Running 5K

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s 22nd Alive & Running 5K for Suicide Prevention will be a virtual event. Although we cannot be together for this annual uplifting, live-affirming event, we encourage you to still register and complete the walk on your own to raise funds and awareness for our Suicide Prevention Center. Our 24/7 multilingual Suicide Crisis Line–one of the largest in the nation—has continued to take calls throughout the pandemic and we need your support more than ever to meet the challenges that lie ahead. The first in the nation, the Didi Hirsch Suicide Prevention Center is a national and world leader in training, research and services. We have support groups for people who have attempted or lost loved ones to suicide which have been replicated around the nation and world. We train more than 20,000 people each year—including LAPD’s SWAT teams, the FBI, firefighters and other emergency responders—how to recognize and respond to warning signs. Our Suicide Crisis Line is the back-up for crisis centers throughout California and is one of three in the U.S. that answers calls on the national Disaster Distress Helpline. Didi Hirsch is a 501(c)(3). Learn more at www.didihirsch.org/spc
