Used on my story: I am running in honor of Andre Schaeffer. Andre was an amazingly talented cheerleader and sweet human being who this world lost to Suicide on June 12, 2021. I was blessed to have known him and been one of his coach for a year and a half. Please consider donating to Connor's Climb in Andre's honor to stop suicide. Thank you.
2021 Connor's Climb 5K and Family Walk
Each year Connor’s Climb Foundation hosts a 5K and Family Walk. This annual event serves as our biggest fundraiser of the year allowing us to continue our mission of providing suicide prevention education and training to the schools and communities in the state of New Hampshire.
This year’s race is on September 26th at the Seacoast School of Technology. Race with us here or join us anywhere to show your support for youth mental health and suicide prevention!
In the aftermath of a suicide, family, friends and communities respond in different ways. When Connor Ball died by suicide in October of 2011, his family and friends decided that no one else should experience such a profound and life-altering loss. Connor’s Climb Foundation is the result of their love of Connor and their commitment to end youth suicide. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 and 24. There is good news, though: suicide is preventable.
