Connor's Climb Foundation has been doing good in our community for years, and I have participated in this race several times. This year, with a very heavy heart, I am walking to honor my daughter's friend, Dan, who tragically left us way too early. I will walk with the hope that we can truly prevent the heartbreak that suicide brings. I hope you will help me reach that goal. Reach out, connect with others, and be kind. 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.
