From the Organizer
Sunday, October 4th, Run Club 203 will come together for something much bigger than miles.
We will walk and run in memory of Vanessa, to honor her life, surround her family with love and support, and help bring greater awareness to suicide prevention.
We also want to recognize two people who have stepped up to help make this day even more meaningful
💜 Carlos A. Santos, Attorney at Law, generously sponsored shirts for Vanessa’s family. The shirts will be available for purchase at the event, and 100% of the proceeds from shirt sales will go directly to Vanessa’s family.
🎤 DJ JWil has also volunteered his time to MC the event, helping us make this day as special and meaningful as possible.
We truly appreciate Carlos and DJ JWil for stepping up, giving back, and supporting Vanessa’s family and our community. This is what community is all about—people coming together and showing up for one another when it matters most. 💜
Whether you walk, run, buy a shirt, donate, or simply show up to support us, we hope you’ll join us. No one has to do anything more than show up and be part of a community standing together for Vanessa and her family.
All paces. All faces. One community. 💜
