Lap the Lakes: A Run to Support Mission 22 at Notre Dame
About seven thousand service members were killed in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. That number, however, is much higher when you consider that over six thousand veterans, many of whom served in support of the wars in the Middle East, die by suicide every year. Many of us in the Notre Dame Veteran community have experienced the loss of a friend and fellow Soldier, Airman, Marine, and Sailor. To honor these men and women, and the lives of so many others, the Military and Veteran Law Society is hosting "Lap the Lakes: A Run to Support Mission 22 at Notre Dame." For 22 hours straight from 6pm on September 16th to 4pm on September 17th, members of the Notre Dame community will be running and walking around St. Joseph's and St. Mary's Lake to raise awareness of the mental and physical battle that veterans continue to fight on the homefront and to raise funds for Mission 22, an organization that helps veterans and their families in that fight.
You can sign up HERE to participate as a runner, and you can donate to support the cause HERE. If you or a friend are in need of help, please call the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255. |
