The third annual Break the Silence 5k run/walk for suicide prevention awareness returns to ConVal High School on May 22. The event cofounded by students Abbey Shumway and Callie Boisvert raises money for the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention.

In its third year, Break the Silence expects to crest the $10,000 mark for funds raised, all of which were donated to the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention, which is now an official sponsor of the event.  

The race takes place on Saturday, May 22 at the ConVal track. Registration runs from 9 to 9:30 a.m.; the race is donation optional, and those who donate $20 or will get a free t-shirt.
