A beautiful message.

🍂 WELCOME, FALL! 🍂

As the seasons change and the leaves begin to fall, we are reminded that change is a natural part of life. But one thing that will never change is why we do what we do. 💜🩵

We continue to raise awareness.
We continue to speak up.
We continue to support one another.
And we continue to remember those we have lost.

Every event, every conversation, every person who wears purple and teal, and every hand we reach out to is a reminder that their lives mattered and they will never be forgotten.

As we step into a new season, let’s continue to choose compassion, connection, and hope. 🍂💜🩵

Welcome, Fall. May this season remind us to slow down, check on one another, and never forget why we started.

💜 WHAT AN AMAZING DAY! 💜

The Zia Su***de Awareness Board is completely overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible support our community showed us! Our event was a HUGE success, and we couldn’t have done it without every single person who showed up, participated, volunteered, donated, sponsored, or simply came out to support.

We had amazing vendors, incredible performances, plenty of laughs, some tears, and so many moments of connection and bonding. These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do. 💜🩵

A HUGE thank you to our amazing dance studios who came out and performed for us:

💃 Legacy Dance Academy
💃 The Studio
💃 Mountain View Middle School Folklorico

You were absolutely AMAZING and brought so much energy and joy to our event! Thank you for sharing your talent with us and helping make the day so special. 🩵💜

To every runner and walker who participated in our 5K — THANK YOU! You showed up, you walked, you ran, you supported, and you helped us spread an important message. Every step mattered. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💜

To our vendors, sponsors, donors, volunteers, performers, families, friends, and our entire community — we see you, we appreciate you, and we are incredibly grateful for you.

Most importantly, thank you for helping us remind our community that no one has to face their struggles alone. 💜🩵

This event was more than a 5K. It was about remembering, honoring, supporting, connecting, and bringing hope.

From all of us at the Zia Su***de Awareness Board — THANK YOU, ROSWELL! 🩵💜

Together, we are making a difference. Together, we are spreading awareness. Together, we are creating hope.

💜🩵 WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU! 🩵💜

Thank you so much Melanie, for allowing us to share our story!

When Karina Ortiz and Adriana Acosta founded Zia Su***de Awareness, they envisioned more than just an event. They created a space for healing, open conversation and hope.

Good morning, everyone! ☀️

A few people have asked about the route for our Outrun the Darkness 5K, so here is a map to help answer those questions.

The 5K will begin at Cahoon Park near Union, close to the pond. The route will continue to Sycamore, where participants will turn around and head back to the starting area.

We will have volunteers stationed at the halfway point to provide water and help guide you along the route. We can’t wait to see everyone!
