SUMMARY:Justin Rist Memorial Suicide Awareness Walk
DESCRIPTION:Wearing the badge was one of the greatest honors of Justin’s life\, but it was only one part of who he was. Justin was a devoted son\, a loving brother\, a proud Tío\, a loyal friend\, and someone who embraced life with his whole heart. He cherished his family\, his friends\, and the Rist Ranch\, and his kindness\, laughter\, and adventurous spirit left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. \nIt has been five years since we lost Justin far too soon. Not a day goes by that we don’t miss him. To honor his life\, his service\, and the badge he wore with such pride\, we are hosting the Justin Rist Memorial 5K Walk/Run. \nThis event is about more than remembering Justin. It is about honoring every first responder who chooses to serve their community\, raising awareness of the mental health challenges they face\, and helping end the stigma that too often prevents them from seeking help. We also gather to acknowledge the service and sacrifice of the first responders we have lost to suicide and to support the families they leave behind. \nPlease join us for a morning of remembrance\, community\, and hope as we walk and run together\, share memories of Justin\, and raise awareness and funds for a cause that is deeply meaningful to our family—First H.E.L.P. \nTogether\, we can honor those we’ve lost\, support those who are struggling\, and remind every first responder that they are never alone.
