WAUSAU, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – The 14th annual suicide and mental health awareness walk returns on Saturday.
More than 200 people have already registered for Prevent Suicide Marathon County annual event.
Since its origin, the event has grown. Three years ago, the walk parted with its national sponsor. Since then, they’ve raised $20,000 for suicide prevention programs in Marathon County.
“It helps with the support group lot of the education programs we do in the school’s community projects,” Prevent Suicide Marathon County Chair Debi Traeder said. “We are here as an education support when it comes to mental health.”
The walk will take place at 10am at the Big Kitchen in Marathon Park.
Participants can register online or day of the walk.
