Suit up. Show up. Save lives.
Held during National Suicide Prevention Week, the HBOT4Heroes’ Run 4 Their Lives 5K isn’t just a race—it’s a call to action. A moment to honor those we’ve lost. A rally to support those still fighting. A mission to bring real hope to real people.
Every step you take helps raise funds for HBOT4Heroes, a nonprofit delivering Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)—a life-saving treatment for those battling traumatic brain injuries, PTSD, and suicidal ideation. This includes veterans, first responders, survivors, and everyday heroes who deserve a second chance.
Why We Run
Because 44 veterans die by suicide every day.
Because first responders are burning out and falling through the cracks.
Because people you know—and people you love—may be fighting silent battles.
We run to say: You are not forgotten. You are not alone. And we are not done fighting.

Why It Matters
HBOT is giving people back their lives. It’s restoring clarity, reducing suicidal thoughts, healing trauma, and offering hope when nothing else has worked.
And yet, most people who need it can’t access it.
THAT’S why we run. To fund treatment. To fight for access. To save lives.
This isn’t just about miles – It’s about meaning. We Run for Their lives – because every step and every dollar can help save one.
