Accept Zero is a family-friendly 5k walk/run to raise awareness and provide support for suicide prevention, to celebrate life, and to honor and remember those who have lost their lives to suicide. All funds raised are used in the community to provide education and support towards the goal of zero suicides. This race will become Life Story next year, once the region rebrands.
