MEET TEAM SAYLESS

We’re 12 Advocate runners representing Dallas, TX and Sayless at The Speed Project LALV, a nonstop relay from LA to Las Vegas.

We’re taking on 340+ miles to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention through storytelling and action. Our fundraising goal is $2,000 per Advocate runner, and every donation helps fuel the mission and keep this team moving safely and with purpose. For Those Who Keep Going.

Team Sayless is representing Dallas at The Speed Project LALV 2026.
