The 10th annual Speak Up 5K is a chance to raise awareness about teen depression and anxiety, which is the mission of the Cameron K. Gallagher Foundation.
Cameron Gallagher designed the race to bring the community together to speak up for those who were suffering or battling any type of mental illness, including depression and anxiety.
The group started small in 2015, but has since grown to accommodate more students who want to participate in monthly meetings, group activities and out-of-school celebrations aimed at creating an inclusive environment where students feel heard.
