An outreach organization in columbus is raising awareness about suicide.

Contact helpline held a 5k walk and run to remember those who we have lost to suicide.

September is national suicide prevention and awareness month contact executive director katrina sunivelle says she hopes events like this will remind the community that there is always someone to call.

"we are here to offer prevention services for individuals here and let them know that they have a safe place to call if they are feeling lonely and depressed.

And this is an opportunity to get runners and walkers to come together and just show the community that contact is here, communicating councils are here and we have different agencies in the community that can help them."

The national suicide prevention line is 1-800-273-8255
