The students had many things in common but two main things stood out: The three high schools are located on or close to Ridge Road and all of them had been impacted by a tragic death by suicide. Together they decided to put their school rivalries aside and created the Ridge Road Run 5K for Suicide Prevention. The first race was held at RFH and proceeds were donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and The Mental Health Association of Monmouth County.https://ridgeroadalliance.orgShore House.The Shore House Story.  ​As a parent of a daughter diagnosed with bipolar disorder and mental health advocate, founder Susan Sandlass never strayed from her goal of bringing a Clubhouse to Monmouth County, New Jersey.
