One person lost to su***de is one too many.

This month, we remember the lives we’ve lost, stand beside those who are struggling, and remind everyone that your life matters and you are not alone.

💜 THE 2026 W.A.S.P. 5K MAY BE TAKING A BREAK — BUT OUR MISSION ISN’T. 💜

As many of you know, we will not be holding our annual W.A.S.P. 5K Walk this year. But that does not mean we are stepping away from the fight against su***de.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, and we want our community to know that W.A.S.P. — Walking Along Su***de Prevention — is still here, still fighting, and still committed to making a difference.

🎟️ Our annual 50/50 Raffle is STILL ON!

Every ticket purchased does more than give you a chance to win. 100% of the proceeds raised goes directly back into our community to help us continue fighting the stigma surrounding su***de, supporting su***de-prevention efforts, and helping those who may be struggling.

💜 50/50 RAFFLE DETAILS
📅 Saturday, September 12, 2026
📍 Oaklawn Terrace Park
⏰ Drawing at NOON

🎟️ Tickets:
$5 each or 5 for $20

You do not have to participate in a 5K this year to make an impact. Buy a ticket. Share this post. Start a conversation. Check on somebody you love.

Sometimes something as simple as letting someone know “You belong, you matter, and you are not alone” can make a difference.

Our walk may be taking a break in 2026…

But our fight is not. 💜

Please help us make this year’s 50/50 raffle a success and continue giving back to the community that has supported W.A.S.P. from the beginning.

Together, we can keep fighting the stigma. Together, we can keep spreading awareness. Together, we can help save lives.

💛 Mental Health in Practice: When Someone Tells You They're Struggling

When someone trusts us enough to say they're having a hard time, it's natural to want to help.

Sometimes that means we immediately start looking for solutions.

We offer advice. Point out something positive. Share a similar experience. Try to reassure them that everything will work out.

Usually, we mean well.

But sometimes the most helpful thing we can do first is listen.

Take what they're saying seriously. Give them room to talk. Ask what they need instead of assuming.

You don't need the perfect words.

You might simply say:

“I'm glad you told me.”

“That sounds like a lot to carry.”

“Would you like me to listen, or help you think through some options?”

“I may not fully understand what this is like for you, but I'm here.”

Supporting someone doesn't always mean making things better.

Sometimes it means making sure they don't have to carry a difficult moment alone.

💛 Make Life Happen.

❗️Important Announcement from W.A.S.P. (Walking Along Su***de Prevention)❗️

To our friends, supporters, volunteers, and community members,

Over the past several years, W.A.S.P. (Walking Along Su***de Prevention) has been honored to bring people together through our annual 5K walk to raise awareness, provide support, and continue the important conversation surrounding su***de prevention and mental health. Your support has helped us make a meaningful impact, and for that we are incredibly grateful.

After much thought and consideration, we have made the difficult decision not to hold our annual 5K walk this year for 2026.

This decision was not made lightly. Over the past year, our family has experienced multiple personal losses, and between those challenges, work commitments, and the need to take time to heal, reflect, and recharge, we believe stepping back this year is the best decision for our organization and those who help make it possible.

While the walk will not take place this year, our mission remains unchanged. Su***de prevention and mental health awareness continue to be causes that are deeply important to us. Every day, there are individuals struggling silently, and it is more important than ever that we continue to support, encourage, and check in on one another. The fight against su***de does not stop, and neither does our commitment to helping bring awareness to this critical issue.

We want everyone to know that this is not a goodbye. It is simply a pause. Sometimes, in order to move forward stronger, we need to take a step back, refocus, and regain our strength. This year will allow us the opportunity to do just that.

We are incredibly thankful for everyone who has walked beside us, volunteered, donated, shared our message, and supported W.A.S.P. throughout the years. Your dedication has helped create a community built on compassion, hope, and support.

We look forward to what the future holds and hope to return stronger and more focused than ever. Until then, continue to check on your loved ones, support those who may be struggling, and remember that no one should have to walk alone.

Thank you for your understanding, your support, and your continued belief in our mission.

With gratitude,

W.A.S.P. (Walking Along Su***de Prevention) 🩵💜

In just one week, 84 men lose their lives to su***de.
79% of all su***de deaths are men.
25% of men live with at least one mental health condition.
asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. It’s not(man up), It’s SPEAK UP.

What happens here goes beyond the kitchen.

Every batch. Every order. Every moment spent creating —
it all connects to something bigger.

Made with Love and Hope exists to turn everyday actions
into something meaningful.

It’s not just about what’s being made.
It’s about what it helps make possible.

Through this work, we’re able to support the mission of
The Matthew Lane Hobby Foundation —
creating opportunities for conversation, education, and awareness
around mental health and su***de prevention.

If you’ve ever wondered how to be part of something like this…
sometimes it starts with something simple.
