Events
MJRF recognizes that community and connectedness is critical to mental health promotion. Days after we lost Miles, our village of friends, family and neighbors pulled together to Run for Miles in the Dexter to Ann Arbor race. Since the fall of 2017, many of Miles’ classmates, friends and family honored his memory annually through raising money and participating in the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention walk in Ann Arbor. Since then, MJRF has continued to host fundraising events throughout the year to fund worthy programs which support youth mental health and suicide prevention in the Washtenaw County community.
