Don't Struggle In Silence 5k - Norfolk

Emily Sheetz, a medical student at Eastern Virginia Medical School, organizes an event called Don't Struggle In Silence, dedicated to raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. Emily's motivation stems from the tragic loss of her sister, Courtney, due to suicide. This event aims to unite the Norfolk community to confront the stigma around mental health openly. During the event, participants receive a finisher medal and raffle tickets. After completing the course, an after-party at a local brewery offers complimentary refreshments and food from local vendors. Join the cause and help make a difference.
