World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) is observed on 10 September every year, in order to raise awareness of suicide as a public health issue and to reduce the stigma surrounding it.
The #RunForGav event is timed to coincide with World Suicide Prevention Day to remember Gavin and others lost to suicide, and to highlight how big an issue suicide & mental health is.
