Why Run With Survive First?
Heroes walk among us. There is a sense of peace we all feel because of these men and women; our nation's first responders.
Our first responders face unique situations and challenges daily, that can have an impact on their physical and mental wellness. Each day, countless first responders answer the call for help, oftentimes enduring wounds that cannot be seen and time cannot seem to heal. Throughout ones career as a first responder, repeated exposer to trauma is likely. Left unchecked, the results can be damaging, and even deadly. Each year, more first responders die by their own hand than in the line of duty. Survive First is determined to change that, and will your support, we can normalize the conversation surrounding mental health in the first responder community, reducing the stigma that creates the barriers to support, and save lives.
