Past Projects of Healing Hearts:
How the walk Began:
My name is Kristen. The Healing Hearts run/walk started in 2014 as a project for my Girl Scout Gold Award. For my Gold Award I chose to do a run/walk to raise funds for a suicide prevention seminar. I wanted to do my Gold Award on suicide prevention because I've seen firsthand how suicide affects people. I have lost my cousin and a couple of close friends of my family to suicide. I also wanted to do my project on suicide prevention because it's not only a growing concern in our community, but in Minnesota and the United States. The program was aimed at bringing awareness of depression and suicide to the area, and to reach out to those who might be struggling with depression or coping with the loss of a loved one. I would like to thank anyone that attended either of the events and to anyone that helped me. My Gold Award was an amazing experience. |
