Want to help out, but don't want to run? Select this item to donate any amount to the LOSS Team of Tarrant County. When you donate to MHA's LOSS Team of Tarrant County, you are helping individuals and families who have lost a loved one to suicide.
Nationally, suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for individuals 10-24 years of age. On a local level, more people die in Tarrant County by suicide than by homicide. A recent report from the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office indicates that the number of suicides in Tarrant County is approximately 200 per year. And for every suicide, an estimated 60 people are intimately affected.
Because of these startling facts, we invite you to join us as a donor at the Sixth Annual 5K Run for Life! By sponsoring the race, you will help us support the LOSS Team; this team is comprised of volunteers who offer immediate support to people who have lost a loved one to suicide. Mental Health America of Greater Tarrant County is committed to leading the community in suicide awareness, outreach, and education. Because suicide statistics are rising in our country and throughout Tarrant County, any level of support you are able to offer is greatly appreciated.
