The Hope For Depression Research Foundation’s 9th Annual 5K Race

The Hope for Depression Research Foundation’s ninth annual 5K Race of Hope brought together a record-breaking 1000 participants and raised $500,000 on Sunday, August 4, in Southampton Village to support research and mental health awareness. The number of participants and dollars raised set new records for the event, which continues to grow each year.

Acclaimed author and influencer Stacey Griffith, founding senior master instructor at SoulCycle, cheered the crowd as Celebrity Grand Marshal. HDRF founder Audrey Gruss and Board member Arthur Dunnam, both Hamptons residents, served with Griffith as Co-Grand Marshals of the 5K Walk/Run (3.1 miles), a USA Track and Field-sanctioned event.

Grier Henchy participated in Sunday’s Race with her mom, Brooke Shields, who was one of the first celebrities to speak openly about depression.

Other race participants included Krista and Alex Bard, Diego Binetti, Janna Bullock, Susan Cushing, Philippe Delgrange and Team Bilboquet, Arthur Dunnam, Christina Flaherty, Alan and Barbara Glatt, Jamee and Peter Gregory, Kim Heirston, Karen and Richard LeFrak, Anne Nordeman, Stacey Pashcow and Marc Caputo, John Paulson and Alina de Almeida, Campion and Tatiana Platt, James and Teresa Remez and their daughters Sofia and Lila, Lis Waterman and Victoria Wyman.
