Help John Patterson’s OC Auto Team and Tustin Mazda in Supporting the Didi Hirsch foundation and the upcoming Didi Hirsch Alive & Running Event

Didi Hirsch’s annual Alive & Running event, which brought together survivors of loss and attempts for over two decades, has been reimagined as Alive Together: Uniting to Prevent Suicide to multiply our impact for survivors worldwide.

The global gathering encourages supporters to walk 2,160 steps (about 1 mile) at Exposition Park in Los Angeles – or in communities around the world – in remembrance of the 2,160 people lost globally to suicide each day.

Guest speakers and celebrities will share stories and support alongside community-building activities and our beloved memorial quilts and memory trees. Integration of these and other activities on social media and other digital formats will engage people worldwide to come together in support of suicide prevention and survivors everywhere!
