Hundreds of runners gathered on Providence St. in Whitehouse on Sunday morning to participate in the PTSD Awareness 5k, Operation: Stronger Together - an event that raised money and resources for struggling veterans.
The run was in honor of National PTSD Awareness Day and was held to help shed light on the condition.
The event also served as a veteran resource event so veterans could learn about available resources in the area.
According to the Department of Veteran Affairs, on average, 18 veterans a day commit suicide due to traumatic stress. Going in - we all go in for different reasons. Coming out - we ve all changed, said Jason Graven, founder of Task Force 20, who put on the event.
