Your Life Matters will hold a 5K run/walk Saturday, August 27 at 8:00 am at the Knoxville High School. Michaela Bigaouette with Your Life Matters spoke with KNIA/KRLS News about the organization and its goals.

“Your Life Matters is an organization started by myself and Scott Karr and a group of caring individuals to respond to the issues of suicide and mental health among young people in our community.  We work with the schools and bring in speakers and we help sponsor the Mental Health Awareness Days held at the different schools. We want to raise awareness and help provide resources for kids who may need help.”
