Suicide is not chosen; it happens when pain exceeds the resources for coping with pain.

The monies raised at the 2007 event have been targeted at awareness and ensuring the much needed resources are available.

In conjunction with the 1st Annual Rock & Roll Half Marathon, we unveiled a Winnipeg-wide billboard and transit advertising campaign focusing on suicide awareness starting September 1 through to December 20, 2008. The campaign will feature the Manitoba Suicide Line to help those struggling with depression and thoughts of suicide.

The billboards mark the kick off of the first major mental health awareness campaign in Manitoba history. You can see them on transit buses, the University of Manitoba, Niverville Avenue (ironically) and the list goes on.

The phrase “miles of entertainment” just took on a whole new meaning!?? Big Daddy Tazz will be riding the Looney Express and providing early-morning groggy runners with the motivation that they need for the half marathon that awaits them in Niverville, MB!

Be sure to request the free bus ride to the race site when you register online at the Running Room.?? If you have already registered and somehow managed to overlook this insanely fun opportunity, contact the Race Administrator, Darryll Zurbyk.

You won’t be sore from running, you’ll be sore from laughing all the way TO and FROM the Rock & Roll thriller!

UPDATE (September 8, 2008):?? Sorry folks the bus is full.?? Be sure sign up early to catch it next year! -Danielle Stott
