"To Write Love on Her Arms is a nonprofit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery."
Join me on Saturday, April 18th for the virtual Run For It 5k hosted by TWLOHA in honor of those who have lost and those who are still fighting the battle against suicide and depression.
Although the Run For It 5k at the "live" race in FL begins at 8am, I like to sleep and I also like brunch... so let's sleep in a smidgen, start a little later, then get brunch at Draught (601 S. Cedar St.). Draught is also our starting and ending point in the route below. This will be a fun time to unite in the name of a great cause rather than a true race... but still bring your racin' shoes. :)
Since this is a virtual race, there's not a lot of organization involved (no timing chips, etc.), so please be prepared to track your own time. Don't have time to register as a virtual runner? No worries, I'd still love to see you! Not in Charlotte? You can still race virtually with us! Post your time in a comment here or on the Facebook event page after your run.
This is an event I'd love to do annually and watch grow so I hope you'll join!
Our race route is 3.23 miles:

- RSVP on Facebook here- all are welcome!
- More information on the Run For It 5k and TWLOHA can be found here.
- While I love the TWLOHA mission, I would rather donate funds to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). My fundraising page from the AFSP's 2014 Out of the Darkness Walk is closed, but I'll be creating another one for the 2015 walk in a week or two- look out for that!
- Find my blog post on World Suicide Prevention Day here.
As always- for Nolan!
I wish I could join you! I'll be out of town that weekend but cheering you on from afar! What a great cause-- proud of you! - Katelyn
