Run For Life Promoting Teen Suicide Awareness, November Event at Apple n' Pork Festival

Run For Life is a teen-suicide awareness group that is locally working to promote awareness around the issues.

 

2018 was a tough year for the Clinton community and Michael Moore, who is known for his work with ServPro of Clinton, helped found the group. He explains he used input from various community leaders, including Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers to try to address areas of need.

 

 

Run for Life will be the focal event at Weldon Springs State Park on the morning of November 2. According to Moore, they'll have custom shirts being made along with food vendors and the night before they'll have a pre-race party at The Abigail.

 

 

The Chevy Spark that is being given away was donated by Baum Chevy Buick and Moore thanks them for their support. He says they were one of the first to step up and support their cause. 

Get more information by stopping by one of their meetings on the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Warner Library. You can also contact Moore at 217-800-1546.
