'Run for Life' Dissolved

A teen suicide awareness and prevention group in DeWitt County has been dissolved after the unfortunate passing of its founder earlier this year.

 

'Run for Life' was founded by Michael Moore, many knew as "Stymie", a couple of years ago to raise awareness around the growing issue of teen suicide locally. Moore's passion for the cause led to the formation of the group with focuses like paying for training for teachers, aides, counselors, and first responders on how to spot warning signs in at-risk youth.

 

The Run For Life board decided to dissolve the organization on June 30. In honor of Moore, two donations resulted from this decision, one to The Vault and the second to Heritage Behavioral Health Center, both with similar teen suicide prevention programs in place.

 

The Run For Life board would like to thank everyone that supported this cause.
