The LIFE SUPPORT RALLY will be Saturday, June 19, 2010.

The Life Support Rally is an annual bicycle ride and walk fundraiser supporting the life support services of Headquarters Counseling Center (HQCC) in Lawrence, Kansas, where caring counselors provide support for all of life’s concerns. 

Bicyclists of all abilities can choose a route: 6-miles, 12-miles, 20-miles, 35-miles, or 50-miles.  Walkers can choose a route from 2 to 6 miles. So, you don’t have to be an avid athlete to participate ~ anyone can join the fun!

The Life Support Rally celebrates the 40 years that Headquarters Counseling Center has provided free, 24/7 services to the community including: counseling, Children's Safety Programs, local and statewide suicide prevention hotlines, crisis response services and Healing After Suicide support group.  Your participation and fundraising will help keep these vital services available for anyone in need, anytime.
