Since 2021, Madeira Beach Fire Department has hosted Legends Never Die 5K.  Our mission for this event is to bring awareness to mental health, PTSD and suicide in first responders, veterans, active military personnel and their families.

We all have a role to play in listening, connecting and reaching out to those who may be struggling with challenges. By talking about mental health and suicide, it not only helps reduce stigma and increase awareness, but it also has the potential to save a life.

Join us on April 13, 2025 as we honor those that have lost the battle to traumatic stress, and show support for those who are currently battling and those who have survived the battle.  We will stand together to advocate for education, resources and treatment for mental health for first responders and military/veterans. 

Invisible Wounds are the Hardest to Heal

Proceeds from the race will be donated to The Franciscan Center's  First Responders Post Trauma Training Program. The Franciscan Center provides life-changing programs to the Tampa Bay community and beyond. The First Responders Post Trauma Training creates a safe, confidential environment for individuals to work through their most critical incidents and process the cumulative stress of risking their lives throughout their careers.
