Project 437 raised over $250,000 dollars in donations for the Helpline Center this year.

Twelve runners participated in the 437-mile relay-style run, which aims to bring awareness to physical and mental health.

Runners started on Thursday in the western part of the state and ended in the southeast on Sunday.
Organizers said this donation marks the largest in the project's history and more than doubles last year’s donation total.

The Helpline Center connects individuals to resources and support. It also answers mental health and suicide related calls on the National Suicide Prevention hotline.
