My name is Sam Blechman and I am raising money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) in honor of my older brother Max Blechman, who died by suicide on June 3rd, 2020. Max would have turned 29 years old this fall (September 29th) were he still alive. In honor of his 29 years, I will run 29 miles on Saturday, September 30th 2023 and will be collecting donations to AFSP leading up to the date of the run.
