Your Life Matters, a 1-mile or 5K Fun Run or Walk is slated for Saturday at 8 a.m starting and ending at the Knoxville High School. This is the fourth year for the event.

Michaela Bigaouette, an organizer for the event, said the purpose is to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention and mental health.

Individuals can register for the event Saturday morning but they need to be at the school prior to 7:45 a.m. to do so. Michaela tells KNIA/KRLS News, “This is an event we put on every year so we can raise funds that will be directly used for suicide prevention and mental health for the youth in our community.”

There will be a speaker after the race.
