Hello friend,

We’re glad you’re here. Whether you’ve been a part of our mission previously or are learning about us for the first
time, we are Runway 2 Life and we hope you know that you matter, you are valuable, and you are loved.
The last year of our Runway 2 Life journey has been busy yet – fulfilling. The need for the work we do has never
been greater and we’ve stepped up in big ways to provide support in our local community and around the country.
We’ve helped countless folks make the decision to not end their life when in crisis. We’re booked almost every day
providing mentorship and support for those struggling with anxiety and depression, and we are working with
partners in our community to shine light on this critical, invasive issue. Sure, it’s exhausting at times but it’s worth
every minute and every life saved.

Over the last year we have also realized that the need is greater than just a few can manage. So we’ve grown our
team, bringing on both full-time staff and ramping up more and more volunteers to help us reach and support as
many as we can. This year to date, our fearless, passionate group of people have contributed to more than 5000
hours, helped more than 200 individual people, and have offered support and resources for the community through
15 events and trainings.

As we have poured out our hearts this year, we have also been evaluating where we go from here. What is our
long term vision? Who do we want to be? We know our mission is to bring faith and mental health together, and
we’re called to walk alongside people as they discover who they were always meant to be. However, there is so
much more to our purpose and the impact we can have in reversing this social and spiritual crisis. So we are taking
a moment to think, dream, and plan for where we want to see Runway 2 Life go. We don’t have all the answers,
but we know this mission is bigger than us and that our passion to help those hurting and broken has never been
more fervent. We don’t want to help just hundreds…we want to save thousands. Why? Because Every. Life.
Matters.

So, please pardon us as we reconstruct our site to match our vision. The work is continuing on, but we’re building
something great and we can’t wait to show you.

In the meantime, we still need your help. Because of the high demand for our support and resources (and the
increased demand we foresee) we need more funding to produce more services, support, and resources, to equip
more people to address the crisis, and to develop adequate processes and systems to do it all efficiently and
effectively.

We would be honored if you’d partner with us on this journey. Chances are that you have either known someone or
personally been affected by anxiety, depression, or suicide, and we are driven by love to pull as many from its
grasp as we can. Every dollar equates to another person set free to live the life they were meant to live. You may
not be able to help the masses alone, but you can help each one that comes through our door. So join us. Join us
in the fight to overcome the hopelessness of suicide and the weight of depression. We can’t do it alone. We need you.

Until all have been helped,
Alicia & the Runway 2 Life team
