The tragic suicide of a young Sarnia woman has prompted friends and family to draw attention to mental health awareness. 19-year-old Sarnia woman Kailee Kavanaugh took her own life in June and other youth in the community have done the same in recent years. Kailee's friend Sereena Nahmabin has helped organize a 5km walk and run on Sunday.
