An Update from Shea’s Family
Time has marched on and recently passed six years since a tragic merge of circumstances led Shea to place himself in harm’s way. We have learned that time does not blunt the pain of loss but has included the new experiences and sustenance of strong love which has allowed survival and continued joy in life…
The 8th Annual

Frequently Asked Questions
Mental Illness Has No Boundaries.
Shea’s Chase was founded in loving memory of Shea McKenna, who died by suicide on June 8, 2014. On that day we lost a dear friend, a loved one, a brother, and a son.
The next year, Shea’s Chase was established as a movement to break the stigma surrounding mental illness, to increase awareness, to communicate hope, and to increase the availability of services and support for those in our community who are struggling.
Benefitting Kellin Foundation
Since the first Shea’s Chase in 2015, we have chosen to donate all proceeds to Mental Health Greensboro. In 2022, Mental Health Greensboro merged services with the Kellin Foundation, a local non-profit providing free counseling, peer support, and community outreach case management to over 13,000 individuals in our community. Proceeds raised from Shea’s Chase 5K will benefit the free mental health services that the Kellin Foundation provides. We are excited about this new partnership and are hoping for a great turnout this year to benefit the great work that the Kellin Foundation is doing. Over the years we have raised over $400,000 with all proceeds going towards the expansion of local mental health programs. With the generosity of community members and organizations like yours, we will continue to make an impact and improve the availability of mental health services to people in our area.
