About
Dive into the heart of a mission that's both deeply personal and universally impactful. This event, the Ava Rose Run, began as a beacon of love, memory, and change after we tragically lost our bright spark, Ava Rose, to suicide. We're rallying together to keep her spirit vibrant, to support mental health awareness, and to nurture our community with scholarship funds and vital resources. Every stride on this run fuels the Ava VanderStelt Scholarship Fund, a nonprofit driven to pour 100% of race proceeds back into the community that Ava cherished. So, lace up for a cause that binds us in hope, strength, and the healing power of giving. Let's run, let's remember, let's support each other – because together, we are an unstoppable force for good. If you're facing tough times, remember help is just a call or click away - reach out to 988 or the suicide prevention lifeline chat. You are not alone.5K Run/Walk - Timed and 5K Walk - Not Timed
