StRides Against Suicide & Overdose 2024

The Prevention of Suicide and Overdose

Join LPA Counseling for our Annual Event

Sunday, August 4, 2023

Rogers-Lakewood Park

5501 N. Campbell St. Valparaiso, IN

8 AM

StRides Against Suicide & Overdose 2024 is hosting a 5k Run/Walk and 10, 40, 60 and 100 mile bike rides to raise funds for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment for those in Northwest Indiana that are in need and cannot afford the treatment.

We are addressing an important issue that affects many people. Our mission is to spread awareness and raise money. The annual U.S. suicide rate increased 30% between 2000 and 2020. SUICIDE is the 2nd leading cause of death amongst 15–34 year olds in Indiana. In 2020, 100,306 people died by overdose in the US. One major barrier to mental health and substance abuse treatment is cost/and or lack of insurance. Our solution is to fund that treatment. Profits from the StRides Against Suicide and Overdose 2023 will be used to provide scholarships for mental health and substance abuse treatment for clients who are uninsured or cannot afford treatment. Your involvement is critical to our success in reducing the devastating numbers of Suicides and Overdoses. Thank you again for your help.

Join us for an Unforgettable Experience! 

The famous Head Haunchos are taking the stage to rock your world from 12-4 pm, and we invite you to groove along with their electrifying performance. To ensure your comfort, bring your lawn chairs and get ready to immerse yourself in the rhythm.

But that's not all! We've got your appetite covered too! Participants and volunteers will receive free lunch from Ken's Dawg's, and kickstart your day with a delightful selection of coffee, donuts, fresh fruits, and bars.

Get ready to savor the perfect blend of music, food, and fun! 🌭🎵 Don't miss out on this incredible event!
