Kathy Swarts, Leslie Fhima & More ‘Golden Bachelor’ Stars Walk for Suicide Prevention — See the Reunion!
Walking for a cause.
Bachelor Nation got to know Kathy Swarts and Leslie Fhima as they looked for love on the very first season of “The Golden Bachelor.”
Since their time on the show, the two have kept followers updated with their lives online and often hang out with their fellow Bachelor Nation stars.
If you’ve been following Kathy and Leslie on social media, both have vulnerably shared about their experiences of losing a family member to suicide.
And over the weekend, the two teamed up to raise awareness for suicide prevention by participating in the Didi Hirsch Alive Together 5K Walk/Run in Los Angeles.
In a video posted on social media, Kathy expressed, “Morning everybody, I’m here to walk for suicide prevention awareness. I’m at UCLA this morning. It’s going to be a tough walk, but I hope that walking and bringing awareness to suicide will save someone’s life.”
Leslie also shared in a video for the event, “Let’s come together because we’re stronger together. We need to support one another.”
Kathy and Leslie were joined by fellow Bachelor Nation stars, such as Sandra Mason, Christina Kempton, Sylvia Robledo, and Theresa Nist from Season 1 of “The Golden Bachelor.”
They were also joined by Carol Freeman and Sandra’s twin sister Andra Wicks from Season 2 of “The Golden Bachelor.” Charles King and Jack Lencioni from “The Golden Bachelorette” took part as well.
Leslie shared snapshots from the 5K on her Instagram Story and said, “Just walking for a good cause,” and Carol commented, “The best humans!!! 🌹”
Leslie also took a selfie with Eric Bigger from “The Bachelorette,” “The Bachelor Winter Games,” and “Bachelor in Paradise,” who joined them for the walk/run.
We are so proud of our Bachelor Nation stars for raising awareness and we love seeing this reunion.
We are also sending all our love and support and keeping anyone who has ever been affected by suicide in our thoughts.
