Running Toward Hope: Derek Kreymer’s Mission at the United Way Tri-Counties 5K
On September 20, 2025, Derek Kreymer, Operations Manager of Hub Security and Investigative Group, will lace up his running shoes for a cause that’s deeply personal. He’s not just participating in the United Way Tri-Counties 5K—he’s running to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention, a mission that has shaped his life for over a decade. All the funds that he raised will go to support Call 2 Talk, suicide prevention support hotline. Call 2 Talk is a member of the National Suicide Prevention Hotline and is the largest Suicide Prevention Hotline in Massachusetts.
🏃♂️ A Race With Purpose
For Derek, this 5K isn’t about speed or competition—it’s about connection, compassion, and commitment. Every step he takes is in honor of the countless lives touched by suicide and the tireless work of prevention advocates. His goal? To raise critical funds that support crisis hotlines, mental health education, and community outreach programs.
🧠 A Decade of Dedication
Derek’s journey in suicide prevention began more than ten years ago when he started volunteering for crisis support services. Over the years, he’s answered thousands of calls from individuals in their darkest moments, offering calm, empathy, and hope. These experiences didn’t just shape his volunteer work—they transformed his professional life.
💬 Skills That Transcend the Crisis Line
As Operations Manager at Hub Security and Investigative Group, Derek draws on the same de-escalation techniques he honed while speaking to people in crisis. Whether managing high-stakes situations or leading a team through stressful operations, his ability to remain composed and communicate clearly is rooted in his years of frontline emotional support.
He puts it best:
“Working in Suicide Prevention gets you ready for all other aspects of life. If you can talk to a person in a high level of crisis, then nothing else intimidates you.”
🌟 Why It Matters
Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States, and prevention efforts rely heavily on community support. Derek’s run is a reminder that change starts with individuals who care enough to act. By combining his passion for mental health advocacy with his leadership in security operations, he’s proving that strength isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, too.
💖 Join the Movement
Whether you’re cheering from the sidelines or running beside him, Derek invites everyone to be part of this journey. Support his fundraiser, share his story, and help spread awareness. Because when we run together—for hope, for healing, for life—we move closer to a world where no one feels alone.
Don’t Forget:
Derek’s story shows that the most powerful tools in crisis management aren’t found in manuals—they’re built through empathy, listening, and human connection. If you want to support his mission, consider donating to suicide prevention programs or volunteering with local mental health organizations. Every action counts.
