I took part in an amazing event on October 13th this year! The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has what is called "Out of the Darkness" Community Walks. It's kind of like the cancer walks that people do to raise funds for the research of cancer, but this is for suicide prevention! The foundation is incredible. It supports education, prevention, awareness and offers support for those affected. My family and I participated in a walk this year in Dallas, and it was very moving. To see so many affected by suicide, coming together. I encourage everyone to check out afsp.org to learn more about it. (I hope that is the right address) I wish you all well, and pray that you can find some peace with such a tragic loss.

I am proud to say I am walking for them this Nov 17th in Clearwater Florida. I want to thank Michelle for bringing them to my attention, I was not aware there was such a charity. I am walking to celebrate the wonderful person my sister was, in sickness and in health. Thanks again Michelle!

Thanks for writing about that Michelle! I had hear a bout the walks but good to hear from someone who has participated in it... I am definately going to join in. I like the idea because its important to get the word out about suicide and not feel like you can't talk about it openly. I will do anyway to remember my Dad and help with healing! Maybe turn the walk into a mini-red sox parade, since he was their biggest fan!! He would be proud :)
