8
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 1>the four thirty seven project. It's a run across the

9
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>state of South Dakota for suicide prevention. This project started

10
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>a few years ago and there are twelve runners who

11
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.640
<v Speaker 1>will begin their journey on the nineteenth of September, so

12
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>that is today, and they will run from the western

13
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:36.560
<v Speaker 1>side of the state all the way to Sue Falls,

14
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>South Dakota, and they'll be here on Sunday. A few

15
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>of the volunteers have done this run in the past,

16
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>like John Meyer.

17
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's two of us back this year, myself and

18
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 2>Lisa Larson, and I think it'll be good. It's nice

19
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>to have a little veteran leadership. We got a lot

20
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 2>of questions from the other ten and I also I'm

21
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>really proud, you know, last year we had eleven of

22
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 2>our twelve. We're here in Sux Falls, and given that

23
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 2>this is a statewide race run, we have statewide runners,

24
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 2>we have rapid Philip peer Platte Aberdeen's. We're still picking

25
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 2>up a few people as we had Wes today, So

26
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 2>I think that's really important as we grow the awareness

27
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>of this project.

28
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>One of the new runners this year is Betsy Schuster.

29
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 3>I joke that I'm recruited to help them keep on

30
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:17.000
<v Speaker 3>schedule if they start running too fast. I used to

31
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 3>run half marathons ten years ago and so I have

32
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 3>not really ran the last ten years, and so when

33
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 3>they approached me, it was just a great inspiration to

34
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 3>get me back on the trails, and so I ran

35
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 3>the Sioux Falls half. I've ran a couple more halves,

36
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 3>and I think a lot of it is that physical

37
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 3>mental connection and the importance of that. And so I

38
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.959
<v Speaker 3>am not an experienced runner per se. But we're out

39
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 3>there going to have fun, and we're really going to

40
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 3>work to raise awareness and that community of support that's available.

41
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Just lace up your shoes, know that you have so

42
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>many people back home cheering on you, and just take

43
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>one step at a time and we'll all finish on

44
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Sunday together. We'll be there in whatever shape we might

45
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 2>be in, but we'll be there. And I think it's

46
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>such a great microcosm for when we talk about mental health,

47
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>right you need to know you have a community of

48
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 2>people behind you, just like we do on this race,

49
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>so we'll finish together.

50
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 3>For me, it's really all about we need to create

51
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 3>a community of support and resilience. And even though I

52
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 3>physically have to run this myself, I'm not alone. And

53
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 3>I think there's so many people that we feel alone

54
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 3>in our lives and that there is support, there's help,

55
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 3>and there's this amazing community around us, and so that's

56
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.360
<v Speaker 3>really my motivation. I've been following the four thirty seven

57
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.199
<v Speaker 3>project the last few years and it's just such a

58
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 3>wonderful event to bring awareness to people who are feeling isolated,

59
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 3>who are feeling alone in that journey, that there is

60
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 3>help and support out there.

61
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Everyone is welcome to join us for a runners reception

62
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 1>as they arrive in downtown Sioux Falls at the Levit

63
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>this Sunday. They're expecting to be at the Levit at

64
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>about one thirty.

65
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 3>I've been to the finish line the last two years

66
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.400
<v Speaker 3>and it's just such a moment of this accomplishment of

67
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.360
<v Speaker 3>this feeling of belonging, this feeling of you know what,

68
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.360
<v Speaker 3>there's many many individuals working through suicide grief that they

69
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 3>lost a love one to suicide and they feel alone

70
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 3>in that, and you come down there and you realize

71
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 3>you're not alone, and so it's a it's a moving time,

72
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 3>it's an emotional time, but it's also a time of

73
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 3>hope and it's a time of support. And so I

74
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 3>really encourage everyone to come out and see us Sunday

75
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 3>at one o'clock as we come home.

76
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Sunday event was really emotional all across the spectrum.

77
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 2>I had feelings of joy at feelings of exhaustion, feelings

78
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.439
<v Speaker 2>of sadness. We do a memory mile of people have

79
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.120
<v Speaker 2>lost loved ones to suicide, and then you come around

80
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the corner and just this wave of sound and cheering,

81
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.360
<v Speaker 2>and so it's just a spectrum of all emotions, very

82
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>much like life. And so yeah, I would encourage people

83
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 2>to come down to the Levet on Sunday. I fear avail.
