Suicide rates are at a 30-year high. PTSD is being diagnosed more than ever. Substance abuse is on the rise. Anxiety disorder is at an all-time high. Depression is rampant.

What we are experiencing is an epidemic. Mental health is now the second-leading cause of disability in the United States. This is threatening the fabric of our society: families, productivity, longevity and more.

While the government has finally started taking the mental health epidemic seriously, there is still a lot of progress that needs to be made. Our mission at the Five Fifty Fifty Run/Walk Series is to bring awareness to the issue of mental health and help those who are suffering know they are not alone. We need to speak up – with our voices, our legs and our financial resources – to make the world a happier place for everyone. We hope you can join us on this journey.
