Walk for Hope

Walk for Hope

The annual 5K Walk/Run raises funds and awareness to support evidence-based suicide prevention training, mental health education, and community resources throughout Michigan and beyond. More than 2,000 participants are expected. This year’s theme, “Superheroes,” recognizes everyday individuals who support mental health and help others feel connected.

Preliminary 2025 data highlights the ongoing need for prevention efforts, with nearly 50,000 suicide deaths nationwide and approximately 1,200 in Michigan. In response, the Network trained more than 3,800 individuals and supported over 1,500 people through its programs.
