Ben's Memorial Mile is a nonprofit organization that raises money and awareness for mental health research and suicide prevention. We accomplish these goals by hosting positive community events and partnering with other mental health advocates. We hope to bring people together, break stigmas, and empower everyone in the battle against mental illness.
