The purpose of the Resilience Run is to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention. The Resilience Run was started in honour of Natalie Puente, a UCLA rower who lost her life to suicide. Our goal is to shift the narrative surrounding suicide and mental illness. We want to end the stigma that having a mental illness makes you weak and show that instead, it takes immense resilience to live with a mental illness. Despite this resilience, suicide is the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-34. 

Our goal at Resilience Rally is to give those suffering from mental illness and suicidal ideation the professional support they need. Proceeds from T-shirt sales and donations will go directly to The Resilience Rally Foundation. With your help, our non-profit will offer professional individual and group counseling for each illness and disorder for any demographic. We will also offer mental health workshops and compensated subscriptions to mental health resources. 

A portion of proceeds will go to Natalie Puente's memorial page for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. 

We invite you to run or walk 5k with us in-person or virtually between May 28th and June 4th to end the stigma. If you would like to host a Resilience Run at your school, for your team, or with work colleagues we can send you T-Shirts in bulk and help you get organized!
