About 170 people participated in Thursday’s 5K for Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.
Brig. Gen. Christine Beeler, commander of Army Contracting Command, addressed the runners and walkers assembled at the start of the 3.1-mile run/one-mile walk near the ChildWise building off Vincent Drive.
“Today is about connection. Connect to protect,” she said. “Support is in reach.”
She mentioned the community resources represented at the wellness fair which was part of the morning’s event. The Garrison conducted a Redstone town hall afterward.
“We lose too many people to suicide,” Beeler said. “So today is about connectiveness.”
