Dr. Patrick McEnaney, a dedicated surgeon who lost both brothers to suicide, is embarking on the grueling Western States® 100-Mile Endurance Run to honor their memory and raise critical funds for Riverside’s suicide prevention services. Channel 7 News recently caught up with Dr. McEnaney to discuss his commitment to honoring his brothers and supporting our suicide prevention services.

“The desire to never have anybody else go through what I went through, that is the motivation for why I started fundraising for suicide prevention … as a surgeon, I can fix simple things with an operation, but I can’t do the magic that Riverside can do to help people,” says Dr. McEnaney.
