This year, the Fun Run was a part of Logan Health’s “Let’s Talk About It” suicide awareness campaign, driven by the mission to educate and empower Montanans about the importance of prioritizing mental health. By spreading awareness and breaking the stigma surrounding suicide, we can help create a supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable seeking help. With the generous partnership from the Pondera County Mental Health Advisory Board and Pondera County Health Department at the event, Logan Health encouraged all participants to take the pledge with us to speak out against suicide and advocate for those who are struggling.
Many thanks to the Logan Health – Conrad staff who volunteered their time to attend and plan the event. A special thanks to Pam McFarland from the Pondera County Mental Health Advisory Board for her assistance in marking the routes the night before the event, Logan Health EMS for attending and leading the way for the participants, Gary & Leo’s Fresh Foods IGA for donating fruit to refuel the finishers, Sidney for singing the National Anthem, The Independent-Observer for capturing photos, and the continuous support from the City of Conrad, Lions Club and Conrad Public Works. This event is not possible without these generous community members.
