The deadline to sign up and receive a t-shirt for the second annual Your Life Matters 5k is tomorrow. This year’s run is scheduled for Saturday, September 7th. Last year, the run featured over 500 participants and raised over $15,000 for suicide prevention awareness. Organizer  Michaela Bigaouette tells KNIA/KRLS News they are very excited to have a timer this year as part of the run for runners who want to keep track of their times and personal records. 

Proceeds will go towards scheduling mental health speaker Jeff Yeldon, who will visit Knoxville September 30th through October 1st to speak with the community as well as Knoxville students.
