Damian Henning was a 17 year old junior at Western Reserve High School. His life was tragically lost to suicide on November 11, 2019. Our goal is to bring education into our schools in the community about suicide and how we can prevent it. Our community has mourned too many young lives lost in the last decade. We need your help and participation to make a change! All proceeds to be used to send interested students to Suicide Prevention Education Seminars. This can be the stepping stone for our youths to make a difference while in school and in their future career paths.
Shirt pickup will be at the Wakeman Fire Department on the morning of the run/walk beginning at 8:00 am.
