Who We Are Alive Running Iowa was formed in 2010 by Troy and Candice Belmer along with Ryan and Melissa Nesbit. The nonprofit organization is completely volunteerled and uses all funds to raise awareness of suicide prevention. The organization uses the money to hold free trainings as they feel education is key to preventing suicide. They also have donated to MercyOne UnityPoint Health Black Hawk Grundy Mental Health and Cedar Valley Hospice to support work toward the cause.
