<div><strong>Why We Walk – Why We Give</strong>
</div>
<div>The statistics are staggering and personal:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>49,069 lives lost </strong>to suicide in the U.S. in 2025 — more than deaths from breast cancer.
</li>
<li>Deaths by suicide reached an <strong>all-time record high</strong> in 2025 (again).
</li>
<li><strong>12.8 million people</strong> seriously considered suicide last year.
</li>
<li><strong>1 in 5 high school students </strong>and<strong> 1 in 10 college students</strong> have considered suicide.
</li>
<li><strong>1 in 3 people</strong> will face a diagnosable mental health condition in their lifetime.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This crisis touches all of us. It’s time to #ChangeTheConversation and break the silence around mental health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
