Just wanted to share, not soliciting I promise! Mood
Thursday, October 2, 2008 | An Inspiring story
Dear Friends, 
 
After her long battle with depression and an eating disorder, my family lost a sister, mother, daughter and friend 2 yrs ago to suicide. 
 
We are all forever changed by this tragic event. My hope is that through education and awareness, those suffering with mental illness will be prompted to seek help. This year, I will be participating in the Out of the Darkness Community walk for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Funds from this event will fund education and research programs for those who suffer from mental disorders, who have lost a loved one to suicide. Last year, the community raised over 2.5 million. This year our goal is 3.5 million. 
 
Please visit www.outofthedarkness.org and register to walk with me and my team, "Christy's Crusaders 2". If you are unavailable to join, please consider donating to help me reach my goal. You can look me up name or team name, there is a lovely picture of my sister there as well, please help me honor her life. 
 
With much love, 
 
Cathy May
