Running for Those We've Lost
727,000 – The number of people who tragically take their own lives each year globally. That number comes from the World Health Organisation estimates.
Each number represents a person. A life cut short. A family forever changed. A community that lost someone precious.
We’re running 727,000 steps to honor their memory and fund research to prevent future tragedies.
How the 727k Run Works
The Challenge: Go for a run, count your steps and add to our team total steps, take a photo or video and tag @joyd_foundation on socials and give your best advice as to what keeps you happy.
