Every 16 minutes in the United States, someone dies by suicide. This year thousands of men and women walk in over 100 communities across the United States, each contributing their voices to break the silence surrounding suicide.
By walking in the 2008 Out of the Darkness Community Walks to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), you will be walking with thousands of people nationwide to raise money for AFSP's vital research and education programs to prevent suicide and save lives, increase national awareness about depression and suicide, and assist survivors of suicide loss.
Many of our participants walk in memory of a loved one lost to suicide.
I'm in this video at 1:28 and this very kind woman is hugging me through my tears. I will be there again this Sunday... I go because I attempted and I made it through... because of God and hope.
