Suicide prevention walk?

[countthestars]

Am I remembering correctly that someone on here is walking? Or maybe recently walked?

I typically donate to a suicide related charity in May in memory of my uncle, who passed 14 years ago. I'd love to help someone on here who is trying to raise money if I can!

I walked a few months ago?

Maybe it was you! Do you want to recommend the charity you walked for? I usually just google and donate to whoever but I realize that's probably not the best way to do it...

There's one going on in Boston shortly.

I've done this walk in Boston a couple of times. It is taking place in June. theovernight.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donordrive.event&eventID=514

I've walked in the past for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and very much recommend donating to them.

I think brooklyn has mentioned volunteering with an organization to prevent suicide? Not sure if there's a walk involved.

(Sorry Brooklyn if I'm mistaken!)

I believe it was with AFSP, which is a pretty big organization.

brooklyn walks every year, I believe, and may have posted on FB recently.

My aunt has done this one a couple times now in memory of my cousin.  I'd recommend them, as well.

I walk for the Samaritans of New York, our local suicide prevention organization. I also recommend AFSP, although I prefer to spend my money on the local level. (I used to work for Samaritans in NYC (will dd) and still volunteer for them, so I know exactly how much they need donations and what that money is used for.
